 * I have been happy using wp-optimize and i pay for updraft plus — happy with both.
 * However when i go to optimize the website lately, it gets stuck on optimize. 
   It does all the other functions except optimize. It gets stuck on tasks when 
   optimizing.
 * here is the screengrab of the problem — it occurred after I updated wp-optimize.

 * With respect, I rely on your plugin because it is so good. I wonder if the error
   is contributing to my website going down.
 * I appreciate your good work.
 * When do you expect to issue a fix … in an update perhaps?
 * And what might i use in the meantime to optimize the website?
 * Thank you for your help.
 * cheers

 * Hi [@kengray20](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kengray20/) 
   To be clear,
   it is only UI issue. i.e. the spinner is not removed, but the optimization was
   done without any issuesUpdate to 4.2.4 and the UI issue is fixed.
