* Hi there, I’ve been advised by our hosting of the below. Seeing if you can please
help to see why AMP would be causing high Account Executions. Thank you.
* “Most of the requests to your page that are listed to be coming from the server
IP are associated with a plugin and a theme on your website – the plugin is “
amp”, and the theme is “bimber”
* There are around 1700 requests from the server IP to your website today:
* [massivee@massiveepicfail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-account-execution/massivee@massiveepicfail.com?output_format=md)[
~/logs]# zgrep 35.213.135.48 massiveepicfail.com-ssl_log-24-07-2020.gz |wc -l
1694
* Checking your access logs from today, you can see that the requests with the
server IP are originating from “amp-wp”:
* ```
35.213.135.48 - - [24/Jul/2020:19:33:21 +0800] "GET /wp-content/uploads/2020/04/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-neon-district-003-rtx-on.png HTTP/1.0" 200 540169 "-" “amp-wp, v1.5.5, https://www.massiveepicfail.com"
35.213.135.48 - - [24/Jul/2020:19:33:21 +0800] "GET /wp-content/uploads/2020/04/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-neon-distric-rtx-on-1024x576.jpg HTTP/1.0" 200 146013 "-" "amp-wp, v1.5.5, https://www.massiveepicfail.com"
35.213.135.48 - - [24/Jul/2020:19:36:54 +0800] "GET /wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2019-07-14_23.58.43-1024x576.png HTTP/1.1" 200 897039 "-" "amp-wp, v1.5.5, https://www.massiveepicfail.com”
```
* Searching for the “amp-wp” string in your website’s files, there are multiple
files in these two folders containing the string:
* ~/public_html/wp-content/themes/bimber/css/8.3.1
~/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
amp/
* As such I can recommend reviewing the settings and configuration of both the
theme and the plugin for any instances of the server IP present in them, or consulting
with their developer for more information on why are they using the server IP
to make their requests to the page.”
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhigh-account-execution%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

* Thanks for raising this topic.
* These requests are indeed coming from the AMP plugin. You can see that the requests
are for images. The reason these requests are being made is that the AMP plugin
is fetching the image in order to determine its width and height. AMP requires
all HTML elements to have dimensions defined in order to prevent layout shifting
when the page is loading. When WordPress serves a page that contains an image
that lacks `width` and `height`, the AMP plugin then fetches the image during
when generating the AMP page in order to supply the `width` and `height` in the
resulting AMP page. Once this is done, then the results are stored in the WordPress
transient cache so the request should not happen again until the cache expires.
* Take for example the request for `minecraft-with-rtx-beta-neon-district-003-rtx-
on.png`.
* I can see a post on your site that uses this image: [https://www.massiveepicfail.com/gaming/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-is-live/](https://www.massiveepicfail.com/gaming/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-is-live/)
* The `img` tag on the page (without lazy-loading) is:
* `
`
* Notice how it lacks a `width` and `height`. This is what is causing the AMP plugin
to initiate that request for dimensions. Compare that same image on the AMP version:
[https://www.massiveepicfail.com/gaming/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-is-live/amp/](https://www.massiveepicfail.com/gaming/minecraft-with-rtx-beta-is-live/amp/)
* `...`
* See how the `width` and `height` are added?
* Now, that being said, it turns out that WordPress 5.5 will actually start to
provide the dimensions for these images when generating the page. See [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50367](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50367)
* I’ve already opened an issue to backport this to the AMP plugin: [https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/4838](https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/4838)
* That being said, there are two reasons why the AMP plugin should not have to
open HTTP requests for this specific image:
1. Since this image here has a `fill` layout then AMP doesn’t actually need a `
width` and `height`, so the AMP plugin could actually skip obtaining the dimensions.
I think this is because the image is inside of an `amp-carousel` and so the `
fill` layout is getting applied after the image is already processed.
2. Since the image is on the filesystem, the AMP plugin could more efficiently
obtain the dimensions by loading the image from the filesystem rather than by
doing an HTTP request. The AMP plugin uses the [FasterImage](https://github.com/willwashburn/fasterimage)
library to fetch dimensions in parallel, but it doesn’t currently support obtaining
dimensions from the filesystem.
* I’ve filed an issue for that: [https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/5115](https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/5115)
* But long story short: once you update to WordPress 5.5, which will be released
in 2 weeks (on August 11), you should see a dramatic reduction in these requests.

* Hi Weston, I’ve been hoping the update would help with discussed above. But since
the update to 2.0 Account Execution has only increased to higher levels.
* Hoping there might be something I can do?

I’m seeing the `width` and `height` attributes being supplied, so that should
avoid the AMP plugin having to fetch the dimensions for those images. For example:

* What requests are currently representative of those which are causing high account
execution?
* Also, do you have a page caching solution in place?

* I don’t see page caching as being included among the features enabled. Then again,
I’m not familiar with SiteGround’s platform.
