 * Hi
    After transferring all the files to GCS in stateless mode our website ground
   to a halt. It seems to be that the plugin is trying to pull meta data that doesn’t
   exist. How can we stop this.
 * You can view an image here which shows the slow query
    [https://www.screencast.com/t/4zs9RyJAFb](https://www.screencast.com/t/4zs9RyJAFb)
 * We are using Beaver Builder plugin and Shortpixel. I wonder if the error has 
   anything to do with those plugins?

 * It’s most likely conflict with other plugin.
    After disabling other plugin can
   you try to regenerate a image, that should solve the issue. What happens to new
   uploads?

 * And about the slow query,
    we are aware of that. You can follow this issue in
   GitHub [https://github.com/wpCloud/wp-stateless/issues/265](https://github.com/wpCloud/wp-stateless/issues/265)
 * You can disable **File URL Replacement** if you are not using this feature, that
   will improve the performance.
 * Do you have any error on error log?

 * Hi Ali,
    Unfortunately I don’t have an error log as I had to revert the site 
   back to a previous state. What effect will disabling the File URL Replacement
   have?
 * Also as I already have uploaded all the images to GCS is there a way of enabling
   your plugin and not running through the whole sync again? Can we just do a Search
   and Replace in the DB or something similar.
 * Many thanks
    Tin

 * 1. **File URL Replacement** updates old url to GCS url on the fly on post content
   and meta.
 * 2. No, not possible with search and replace. But you can skip the thumb generation
   and upload by custom programming.
 * If you like we can handle this for you. We offer paid support.
    For more details,
   you could schedule a call with Marcus – [https://app.hubspot.com/meetings/marcus-smoot](https://app.hubspot.com/meetings/marcus-smoot)
