Bulk smush is increasing the total size of my site

If I run bulk smush the total size of my site (storage usages in cPanel) is getting increased. Last time it exceeded the total amount of the storage that my server allows me to have.

    Hi Stelios Gerantidis,

    I did a test on your site by running Bulk Smush process and stopping it after around 10% and checked the stats.

    In disk usage panel it shows that the folder size is actually getting smaller as the images are getting optimized so your images are not getting larger.

    This is a screenshot of before and after image optimization:

    What I did notice is that mo******lus_com.php.error.log increased for 1MB in just few minutes.

    It seems that the reports there are coming from sg-caching plugin so I would suggest checking with your hosting provider about that.

    If you noticed that your images are actually getting larger please give us some examples so we can investigate this further.

    Best regards,

    Predrag
