 * [@letterafterz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/letterafterz/) , a good way
   to narrow down possible problems would be to just select 2 or 3 images in the
   media library and use the “Bulk Actions” > “Bulk Optimizer” here instead of for
   the whole library.
 * Also (per the “The scanner is too slow!” section of the article [@nosilver4u](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/)
   linked), check if your optimization history seems to be very large.
 * …and the reason I stopped by this thread is that I’m having the same experience:
   –
   Noticed that only the main image was now being converted to .webp, not the thumbnails(
   I only use this plugin for .webp conversion). Some thumbnail sizes also appear
   to never have been converted, but now it’s all of them. – Bulk optimization endlessly
   spins on Stage 2, even when only 2 base images are being converted. No console
   or logged errors. – Optimization history is <300 files overall.

 * This wouldn’t have crashed your site (it’s just a warning), but you will receive
   these warnings (and others about using `array_key_exists()` on objects) until
   either:
    1) time.ly updates with 7.4 support 2) You manually update their code(
   for the warning you cited, you can just change braces to brackets) 3) You change
   your error reporting settings.

 * I’m referring to the fact that now, on a search for “ABC” in 404s, the “Delete
   All” button no longer changes to “Delete all 404s Matching ABC”—a very useful
   feature—as before.
 * So now the quickest way to remove all 404s matching a query is page by page.

 * Turn your redirect back on and test it here: [http://redirectcheck.com/index.php](http://redirectcheck.com/index.php)
   to see what is actually happening.
 * Odds are your target url is also matched by your source url, causing an endless
   loop.

 * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loop-problem-with-regex/#post-10347327)
 * It’s working correctly. The problem is that your target URL is also a match for
   your your source regex, so it just keeps on redirecting.
 * Play around with this test tool:
    [https://regex101.com/](https://regex101.com/)
 * Think about the possible permutations of the url you want to match and type them
   in the “Test String” section (leave off your domain), and put your target url
   in the “Substitution” section.
 * For example, `\/author\/(\w*)$` will match “/author/my_userNAME” and will not
   match the redirected “/author/my_userNAME?type=ads”.
 * But you also have to think about things like: What characters are allowed in 
   my author names? Do I need to account for trailing slashes? etc., account for
   those cases in your Test Strings, and rework your regex as needed.

 * Go look at your server logs. There’s a good chance those requests were already
   being made, only now have a more visible record of it.

 * Found the issue. I use the [Plugin Organizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/)
   plugin to keep some backend plugins, etc. from loading unnecessarily across the
   site. I thought that a logged-in user, on the backend, would not need Regenerate
   Thumbnails globally enabled to reach those endpoints. I was wrong.
 * Everything now working as intended.

 * Those Apple devices are trying to find icons to represent your site, like a browser
   looking for favicon.ico. (Windows 8/Phone does the same thing, except different
   filenames/dimensions.) You can use a plugin like [OS Integration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/os-integration/)
   or manually upload some.

 * While there was a cached response that query by this time (I’ve deleted it and
   excluded /wp-json/), deactivating my caching plugin didn’t fix it. I also tried
   deactivating anything related to security, plugin loading, REST, etc., without
   effect. I also re-saved permalink structure (since it’s a 404 error) just in 
   case.
 * Queries like `/wp-json/v2/posts/` and `/wp-json/wp/v2/media/` work. Is there 
   a troubleshooting path you can recommend?
 * I’m using WordPress 4.9.4 and Regenerate Thumbnails 3.0.2.

 * Regex redirects have capture groups that can be passed to the desired destination.
 * So a structure like: `/oldmembers/myusername/oldposts/` could have a regex like:`
   ^\/oldmembers\/(.*)\/oldposts\/$`.
 * That part in parentheses (now stored as `$1`—subsequent groups would be $2, $
   3, etc.) would be called in your destination like: `/newmembers/$1/newposts/`.
 * Click the ^ arrow next to “Substitute” here to test them out. [https://regex101.com](https://regex101.com)

 * The part to be replaced, `/worksop`, is also found in your destination URL, thus
   the infinite redirect (you can see the redirection step-by-step here: [http://redirectcheck.com/index.php](http://redirectcheck.com/index.php))
 * If the `/worksop` to be redirected is always at the end of the URL, as in your
   example, you could use an end-of-line token to only match that string at the 
   terminus of a URL: `\/worksop$`.
 * Try it out here: [https://regex101.com/](https://regex101.com/) and also think
   whether there would be any unintended effect on other pages.

 * Do any of your redirects have a hyphen in them?
 * Is it only one IP repeatedly asking for the same resource?
 * Any hints from the referring URL?
