Certain SpeedyGo features may fail to activate if required PHP extensions are missing or if server resources are insufficient.
31.1 Problem #
If your hosting environment does not meet minimum requirements, some optimization features will remain disabled.
Technical Context #
- Continuously checks:
extension_loaded('gd') - Validates available storage using:
disk_free_space() - Verifies WebP support capability
- Monitors cache directory accessibility
If any of the following conditions occur:
- The GD Library is missing
- WebP support is not enabled
- Disk space is insufficient
Persistent admin notices will appear inside the WordPress dashboard.
31.2 Solution #
To resolve the issue:
- Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel / Plesk)
- Go to PHP Extensions or Select PHP Version
- Enable:
gdimagick(optional but recommended)
Also ensure sufficient free disk space in:
wp-content/uploads/ If extensions cannot be enabled manually, contact your hosting provider for assistance.
31.3 Best Practice Recommendation #
- Use PHP 8.0+ for best performance
- Monitor available disk space regularly
- Verify WebP support after enabling GD or Imagick
- Clear admin notices after resolving the issue
Proper server configuration ensures all SpeedyGo optimization features function correctly and reliably.
