art137

I have posted my answer and now I don.t see it And the link you provided just brings me back here

Thank you I will post the results here once I find out for future reference for others.

I believe I found the culprit after going through the source page. It seems there is a line pointing to the /h url

background:url(h)

It is part of the code of an audio player in the Plus Addons for Elementor page builder plugin

I de-activated the plugin and both the /h and the path of /hand-made-furniture/ was gone

Don’t know how I could have missed it while troubleshooting. It may have been missed because of the cached situation.

I will contact the developers and pass this on to them but that’s not to say that it could be caused by another plugin not being compatible with The Plus Addons.

I will post the results here when I find out, At least we know now that it isn’t a WP core issue

I read the instructions and I’m not sure if I can do this without screwing it up and losing everything.
There is this line that confuses me;

For these instructions, it is assumed that your blog’s URL is https://example.com/wordpress/.

This is not affecting just my blog, it’s the whole website including pages. With the /hand-painted-furniture/ post de-activated (draft) it just picks another post.
I don’t know how anything could have been added to the core files as I am the only one who has had access to the root files

If this ‘manual update’ does not fix it what is the next step and/or is there one?
There has to be a way to find the cause of this without taking a chance like this.

Also I have upgraded to 5.5 already through the WP update

I tried to see if it could possibly be something with the hand-made-furniture/ post so I disabled it and put it into the draft.

the ‘h’ was still present and it redirected to a different post.

When I republished the post, it redirected back to the /hand-made-furniture/ post again

This issue between both the /h and redirect is adding on average of 3 to 5 secs on my page load depending on how large the post is. It pops up on any post I run a speed test on and even in the dev tools

I also ran a test on the post itself and the /h chimed in at 1.09s and it redirected to itself at 9.3ms

This makes the second time I have tried to respond. I don’t know why it was gone when I came back but my response was not here so I will post again.

I checked the mu-plugins folder and found the GoDaddy worker plugin and deactivated it and nothing had changed

I checked the Fresco-1 post and there was no /h in the slug

There is no /h in the slug or anywhere else and this is effecting nearly every post on my site

This time it popped up on this post I am trying to optimize. The /h shows 942.4ms and the same page of /hand-made-furniture/ is at 1.95s

Here is the link to the post it is showing in

I checked the .htaccess file and I see nothing referring to the /h

Yes, All my sites are in the same hosting environment. Memory is at 1024, post size and upload limits are more than enough. I even tried to edit the images through Elementor/Pro (I have both) and it does the same thing whether in the media library and/or Elementor. Deactivated all the plugins and by itself it still would not load the image

Ok, so you posted a link to another comment that takes me nowhere. Is there another link I am supposed to click on? So you mean I can’t use WP-Paint with Elementor unless I pay for the Pro version? Is that it?
Well then in that case why is it working fine on another one of my sites with the same plugins?

I would like to know @mylilmule what you’re referring to with the term “clunky”?

I use Elementor page builder and the coding takes more effort to optimize the site are you referring to coding when you say clunky? Is it heavily coded now?

I use to use this plugin years ago and uninstalled it because of the downgraded free plan ( limited Social). When I had it on my site there was a change as to how many social platforms you could post to. Is that still the case?

I am not using an Http plugin But I am using the Elementor page builder. I also have another (new)site with the same issue. I have done all the troubleshooting and even deactivated all the plugins and still get the same result

My theme is generate press,

I am experiencing the effects firsthand and I have done the general troubleshooting as you have directed and there is no change. You refer to the “Permalinks screen” and I am very familiar with the admin screen, but how do you view the links? Is there suppose to be a list of links? If so I have never seen one…unless you are speaking of viewing the links from the network screen

Here’s a mobile test report

One more thing, How come the /h is not showing in the network on any of my other sites?

rosboundy.com.au
artist-sites.com
creatives-daily.com

I did not create that link. For some reason, it created itself as both those posts have always been independent of one another. This is also not the only instance that this has happened. My question is why as a 301 redirect is it delaying my load speed. If you look you will see that that’s the case, I mean if there is no redirect then why is it loading in the first place. I am no developer I am just looking for reasoning because it doesn’t make sense. If that’s normal for WP then how does anyone get 100% for optimization?

I just check that link again and the /h is at 165B and took 1.82 seconds to load and it was not even redirected. Take a look…https://art-faux2.com/mural-projects/faux-fresco-project-1/

Thanks for the reply, but no I don’t own the domain any longer and I don’t want to bore you with the details as of why. The content already exists on the art-faux2 but only half of the content and images are showing because of the change of URLs. A lot of things like images and videos are not showing in my current sitemap. I started art-faux.com in 2004 so there is a ton of SEO juice and backlinks missing. Last time I looked there were over 2400 backlinks and now (art-faux2) shows 4 backlinks and 14 posts/pages as indexed according to Bing.
