Smush CDN slowing the site

When I activate Smush CDN, my site runs extremely slow and pages return Error 524: a timeout occurred (cloudflare). Can you help me?

    Hi Andrew

    I hope you’re well today!

    I checked the site and I can see the issue there. I did some tests (CDN is disabled again so the site wouldn’t slow down) but I admit I’m still not sure yet what’s causing that.

    I’ve noticed that there’s some JS issue with some “imagesloaded” JS library though. I realize there’s been a full plugin conflict test run but could you please also test the theme? To test it, you’d need to switch the site temporarily to Twenty Nineteen theme, then enable CDN in Smush and see if that also slows it down.

    If not – we’d need to “drill down” into the theme (I believe it’s a custom theme that you created, right?). If it’s still happening even with Twenty Ninteeen theme active, I’ll call out our developers for help.

    Best regards,

    Adam
