# Long Uploading…

 * When Smush.it is enabled, every image I’m uploading through WP Media Uploader
   takes about 5 times longer (without Smush.it, the upload is instant).
 * Any ideas how to fix it?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@tfolder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfolder/),
 * Thank you for your question.
 * The image is taking time to upload because every time you upload the image it
   is sent to the [Yahoo Smush.it ](http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/) image optimizer
   by calling its API and optimized image is fetched & used in the WordPress site.
 * If you don’t want to optimize image on upload then you can disable it by selecting“
   Do not process on upload” option of “Use Smush.it on upload?” dropdown field 
   from the following path
 * Admin -> Settings -> Media
 * Later you can smush the images by clicking on the Smush.it now! link for any 
   image you’d like to smush or bulk smush all the images from the following path
 * Admin -> Media -> Bulk WP Smush.it
 * Best Regards,
