DNS Prefetch – Remove Link

  • I see the following code when looking at View Source:
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//173.254.100.84′ />
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//fonts.googleapis.com’ />
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//s.w.org’ />

    I want to remove the first line:
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//173.254.100.84′ />

    There is no reason for the site to try to load that, it was the staging platform. It is slowing down load time and I believe is causing a conflict with the All-in-One Events Calendar (looking for the css at 173.254.100.84

    How do I accomplish this?

    AIOEC (for short) caches stuff and that means it hangs on to old URLs. Try going to events->settings->advanced->cache reports and clicking “save”. That should clear its cache.

    If that doesn’t do it, you’ll need to find where that IP is being used.

    That didn’t work. ??

    One other thing to try: install the plugin “better search and replace”. In all tables, search for 173.254.100.8 and replace with yourdomain.com.

    That’s a great plugin but it didn’t fix the issue. Gonna try this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/domain-name-changed-didnt-update/

    I followed the instructions in the above link, renaming uninstall.php instead of deleting it. My database is no longer there… unless there’s a way to restore it from the site backup I took before making changes.

    It does, however, take care of the issue of the calendar trying to prefetch the css file from the staging platform.
