 * Hi, I tried to resize an image on a webpage with the Smart Compression, however,
   I receive the following error message:
 * Resizing failed: cache resources exhausted
    @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/4083
 * Could you please let me know what is wrong? Is this error caused by the plugin
   itself or by something else?
    Is there a way to resize the image or not?
 * Cheers 🙂

 * Hi [@chrishechler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrishechler/)
 * I am sorry to hear about the issue!
 * Can you please try to use [this helper plugin](https://github.com/wp-media/imagify-helpers/blob/master/optimization/imagify-dont-use-imagemagick/imagify-dont-use-imagemagick.zip)(
   works simply by activating)that will make your server use a different package
   called GD instead? Just install and activate it and see if the issue is getting
   solved. This kind of issue may be caused through Imagick the package responsible
   for image resizing.
 * It could also be an issue with a lack of available memory dedicated to your WordPress
   site from your server. You could also try adding the following to your wp-config.
   php file:
 * define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
 * Feel free to let me know how it goes.
 * Best Regards,
    Ioanna
