Hi Kashifch

mrbuttongame found what was causing these blocked resources stats.wp.com issues. Here is the extract of the thread where the problem was identified:

I found what was causing my issues: For some reason, the Jetpack plugin’s site stats tracking feature was doing it.
I kept Jetpack and just turned off the stat-tracking feature, and now none of my pages are blocked.
Not sure if this is a fix-all – I’m still unsure why this was happening, and it worked well for me because I have Google Analytics and don’t use Jetpack tracking – but it at least seemed to solve the issue.

Ok thanku so much nikkoboy.

I have really lost my ranking due to this issue. Now I have disabled stats function.I don’t know why jetpack plugins’ admin solve this serious issue.

So much thanks for guiding me.

As @nikkoboy mentioned, these errors appear because you use the Stats module on your site.

You can rest assured, though: such errors will have no negative side-effects, and won’t impact your site or its ranking.

Google’s Blocked Resources Report allows you to spot pages on your site that cannot be indexed by Google. It’s a good way for site owners to make sure there are no pages that Google can’t crawl because of an error, or an unintentional blog.

In this particular case, the resource mentioned in the report is not a page of your site: it’s the tracking code used by Jetpack to record visits on your site.

We’ve recently added a robots.txt file to the domain hosting the tracking code, to ask all bots to not index anything on stats.wp.com. We do so to prevent well-behaving bots and search engines from ever hitting the stats pixel and thus triggering a view in your stats.
Until recently, we maintained a list of these bots and search engines crawlers, and excluded them from the stats, but by adding the robots.txt file it allows us to be more precise, and to improve the accuracy of your stats.

To conclude, you can continue to use Jetpack Stats safely, and ignore these errors. As they’re not related to pages hosted on your site, it won’t have an effect on your site’s ranking in Google and other search engines.

The only effect it will have is a positive one: from now on, Jetpack Stats will block more bots, and consequently give you more accurate stats by excluding more false visitors from your daily views.

I hope this clarifies things a bit. Do not hesitate to let me know if you have more questions!

Jeremy Herve,

I like how you answered to this problem as “this is what it is, and we’re going to keep it.”

Do you think people like seeing thousands of blocked resources on their Google Webmaster Tools? That’s how many I have due to WP Stats update.

Guess what? Not going to use WP Stats anymore until this issue is fixed, and maybe never again if I get used to using only Analytics.

Very stupid move, and an even dumber approach to deal with a problem that you have created. Now watch your users drop, because some people use Jetpack ONLY for WP Stats.

It’s weird to me how people with this type of thought process are managing customer relations. What you should’ve done is panic that your update is causing issues, yet you seem high and relaxed. Well, good luck.

Although that may look bad when you first look at it, it’s actually not an issue. With time, you’ll see other domains showing up on that page, and that’s okay. Many websites and tracking services will choose to block access to some of their resources with a robots.txt file. If you were to install Google Adsense for example, you’d soon start seeing Google’s Adsense domain showing up in your list of blocked resources, since they also block indexing with a robots.txt file:
https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/robots.txt

We could revert our changes and allow indexing again, but that would then affect the quality of your stats, as a few bots that are not on our blacklist would be considered as legitimate users and would then appear in your stats.

I took note of your feedback, though, and I’ll see if we can find an alternative. We might be able to block every bot but Google Webmaster Tools, thus getting rid of the warnings in your panel, while still maintaining the more accurate stats. I’ll post again here when I have some news.

Good news, we just made that change! Google’s bot is now allowed to parse the stats tracking pixel, and we block it from being registered as a visitor in your stats.

The Blocked Resources errors should consequently disappear as Google keeps indexing your site.

Now I have the latest version of jetpack but i have again the following error in google WBT.

Blocked Resources > https://pixel.wp.com

Please also guide me how can I fix this issue. When I clicked on the blocked resource, than the following link appeared.

Blocked Resources > https://pixel.wp.com > /g.gif?v=wpcom-no-pv&x_sharing-count-request=pinterest&r=0.9734543575905263

Please guide me.

@kashifch You’ll need to give it some time for Google to take the changes I mentioned above into account. The errors should disappear gradually, as Google comes back to your site and crawl the pages again.

@jeremy Herve thanku so much sir.

This sounds like the same issue I am having but, it does have a business impact. My host has now closed down my site due to breaches of CPU limits. I notice an “unidentified” bot from IP 192.0.84.33 taking up a lot of bandwidth. It belongs to Automattic Inc. Is that where it’s coming from? Have denied it anyway.

@irishfamilyancestry That problem seems quite different from the original report in this thread.

Could you please start your own thread, as per the Forum Welcome?

I notice an “unidentified” bot

In the new thread, could you let me know where the bot hits? Does it try to load a specific page on your site?

I would also help if I could know your site URL.
If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

Thank you!

Please tell me anyone how to fix this issue.

I have already mentioned this problem in above post but Jeremy Herve asked me to wait for google re-index your site again, But these pages are increasing gradually on every new index date.

Should I leave to use jetpack? Because it is creating so many problems in last two months. Please Solve my issue , will be very very thanks.

Google is allowed to crawl pixel.wp.com, as you can see here:
https://pixel.wp.com/robots.txt

I would consequently suggest that you wait a little longer. As I mentioned earlier, this has no effect on your site rankings. You can safely ignore those warnings.

Ok lets see.
