Fast Velocity Minify crashes my website

    Hello,

    I have a strange issue with Fast Velocity Minify.
    If I include “/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js” in the optimize ignore list,
    my website crashes every day at least once. (I monitor this with uptimerobot.com).

    I contacted my web hosting regarding this issue (because I first thought it was an issue with my webhost).
    This was there answer: (in dutch)

    “Ik heb hier nog wat verder naar gezocht. Jouw account is de “top” gebruiker op deze server en een tiental keer per dag worden er verbindingen van je account afgebroken omdat het aantal te hoog oploopt. Zie het voorbeeld hieronder waarbij er meer dan 100 verbinding quasi tegelijk starten en even later allemaal afgebroken worden doordat er hierbij excessief veel resources gebruikt worden. Dit is begonnen rond 26/10.”

    (In short: your account is the top recource user on the server, we have to cancel connections because the amount of connections exceeds the limit)

    If I disabled the Fast Velocity Minify plugin the problem was gone.
    I then further investigated this problem and noticed if I removed jquery.js from the ignore list the problem is solved. But some scripts on my website don’t work anymore. So I have to include jquery.js in the ignore list.
    At this moment Fast Velocity Minify is disabled on my website because of this problem.

    I know this is probably a conflict with another plugin or theme.
    But it is hard for me to investigate this because this is a live website, I can’t test/debug this a lot.

    If install Autoptimize instead of Fast Velocity Minify, the same problem occurs.

    Did you hear this problem before, do you have an idea which plugin causes this conflict?

    Hi,

    I don’t think it’s anything to do with jquery being ignored or not.
    It may be a coincidence or not, but the approach of “you are using too many resources (for what you are paying)” is common practice with cheap/shared hosting.

    It’s rather a server resources limit and your site itself, having many resources which need to be merged: http://prntscr.com/n2l4if

    If their limit is 100 requests per view, your site is going to trigger that issue if the user has a sufficiently fast enough connection. If FVM or Autoptimize are downloading the js/css from your server in order to merge them, it’s going to be as fast as it gets, thus hitting their limit.

    In other words, while it may be looking fine for you, some users that are near that server and have high speed/low latency to the site, may be seeing the same issue or being blocked from seeing the site at times.

    Furthermore, when they say you are the “top user”… it means your site is using up more resources than any other user (PHP, MySQL, etc).

    Your only option is to move to some other hosting company, which doesn’t have these limits. Nowadays shared hosting is almost extinct, so look for some VPS plan and stop worrying about this.

    Any shared hosting plan, is going to come up with limitations on how much you can do.
