 * I have approx. 1026 images and I went ahead and tested the plugin for first time
   and it did optimization but it got stuck at remaining 5 so I stopped it. Restarted
   my cloud instance and tried it again to finish the remaining 5, however it keeps
   stuck at the status that has the animated clock going around and wording says“
   5 image(s) found, starting optimization…”
 * So, how I can fix this issue?

 * Hi thedeafjoe!
 * There could be many reasons why this is happening. First of all, could you please
   make sure you have the latest plugin version? It should be 6.3.3.
 * Could you also take a look at the following article? Most of our customers are
   able to fix the issue by themselves with it: [https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-some-of-the-images-and-or-thumbnails-cannot-be-optimized/](https://shortpixel.com/knowledge-base/article/why-some-of-the-images-and-or-thumbnails-cannot-be-optimized/)
 * Let me know if you have any questions 🙂

 * Oh I didnt realize it was the resmush.it plugin but under same owner because 
   I saw the version showed 1.0.4.
 * I assume I’ll have to go over there and create a post.
 * Again, I apologize.
