 * we’re using professional hosting from WebSynthesis/CopyBlogger. it’s pretty solid…
   not that GlueHost crap. still, when i try to run the bulk process, it locks up
   my site. i can’t access the admin side or the website.
 * it does get some photos done in the meantime…about 160 so far. but, as you’d 
   expect, i can’t have the site going down while trying to process. i know the 
   plugin will automatically compress new photos. is there any way for me to go 
   through my media library one at a time to do this? i’ve got about 900 photos 
   left to compress.

 * never mind. it crashed my site again, while not even processing. when i disable
   the plugin via ftp, i get my site back. so…i’ll find something else. good luck!

 * Sorry to hear that the plugin is not the best choice for you.
 * We could try to find a solution for optimizing your photos. Maybe if you send
   us your old image archive, we could try and process your images safely and return
   them to you. Drop us a word at [https://shortpixel.com/contact](https://shortpixel.com/contact)
   if you’d like us to help.
 * Thanks!
