 * We are having an issue where 25% of the time the smush it plugin is failing on
   media image upload. The image preview shows error message “HTTP Error”. Please
   advise.

 * Please got to Settings > Media. In the Smush.it section make sure you don’t have
   the checkbox set for debug output. Also check the timeout setting. If it is too
   low you might be getting timeouts from the remote call to the Yahoo Smush.it 
   service.

 * The default is 60 seconds. Should it ever take longer than that? We have been
   running our sites for 6 months now on smush it and it just arose. Is this a server
   side problem on the smush it servers?
 * We are just smushing 1 image at a time here.

 * Hi [@shawnlunny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawnlunny/),
 * Are you getting this error message for every image, even for those images which
   are small in size?
 * Could you please share me the screenshot of error message using image sharing
   website like [http://imgur.com/](http://imgur.com/) ?
 * Kind Regards,

 * Hey there.
 * We haven’t heard from you in awhile, so I just wanted to check in to make sure
   all was good.
 * This thread was marked resolved, but please, if you still need help then just
   respond and open it back up. We can then take it from there. 🙂
 * Hope you have a fantastic day!
