Build Problem: Netlify dos not fetch all images from wordpress backend

niklas_may · October 10, 2019, 2:13pm

We are developing a site with gatsby.js that is getting data from a worpress backend installed on bluehost.

Problem:

Several Images are missing when deploying the site on netlify
There is no error in the deploy log
When running the site locally with gatsby develop or gatsby build, all images are there

How to reproduce

It seams that this problem happens more often once the total amount of images on the site grows
Currently we have around 200 images
The largest images have a size of 3000x3000px and a file size of 3MB
Aside from this, it is hard to find a specific pattern.
Sometimes it helps the delete the image in WordPress and re-uploading it. But then, some other image is missing
Find the deploy log here

** Live site**

Missing image in the third row on the left

My Setup

gatsby 2.13.29
gatsby-source-wordpress 3.1.9
git hosted on bitbucket
WordPress 5.2.3
WordPress hosted on bluehost

My development environment

OsX 10.13.6

Question

Is there a way to debug the communication between netlify and bluest?
Is there a max bandwidth at netlify?
Any other ideas how to solve this

Thanks a lot!

Hi Niklas,

Wanted to mirror the answer I described to you in the helpdesk here for others to see:

We do not limit any bandwidth or outgoing connections (and their responses) during build. We have some customers who download over a gigabyte of data during build regularly. I guess if you have 100 Gb it might be a challenge to finish in the time we give you, but I don’t think that is what you are seeing or the amount you are talking about.

To debug, have you tried running in our build image locally? That’s probably a good thing to try since:

you can try multiple experiments more quickly
you can try “re-running” the build to see if the images come through on a second try
you can try to determine the pattern for what is happening

Let me know how it goes!
