    Thanks for the great plugin.

    Our hosting company has informed us that they have had to disable admin-ajax.php due to high resource usage.

    The list of processes they have connected to the issue are all similar to the below, they appear to be connected to Ewww.

    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wp_ewwwio_async_optimize_media&nonce=d97bcf1e89

    The website is on a shared hosting server. It’s a news site that is updated daily with image galleries.

    We don’t use a cloud optimization API Key in the plugin. We also have parallel optimization turned off.

    Do you have any advice on how to optimize the resource usage of the plugin?

    If you’ve disabled parallel optimization, it should no longer be connecting to that url, and should be more resource friendly. Only thing I can think of to try (without seeing your debug information) is using the API to take the load off the server.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Does using the API mean that the admin-ajax.php file will no longer be used by the plugin on our server?

    First of all, you need them to re-enable that, or you won’t be able to use many features of WordPress. EWWW needs access to admin-ajax.php to function, even with the API. But it only uses it for API key verification, and backgrounding the media optimizations, much less resource usage than the parallel optimization.

    Yep, I know the admin-ajax.php file is very important to the general running of WordPress.

    Unfortunately they wont re enable it until I optimize the amount of hosting resources it’s using, hence my inquiry here.

    I’ll look into getting the API key set up.

    Many thanks for your time.

    Ah, gotcha. That’s your best course of action then. Good luck!

    Just having a look over the API pricing plans here – https://ewww.io/plans/

    I just need to get back to my client with some prices, and have a couple of questions before I do.

    Are the pre-pay pricing options exclusive of images in the website that have already been optimised? We already have a large number of images in the site that have been optimised without the API.

    Is there a one off payment option at all?

    right, you only need to pay for new stuff you upload
