Ah sorry, my email notifications weren’t set to alert me when you replied.

Yes, I still am having this issue. Is there a way I can send you the details of the site effected privately?

If you are talking about the changes added to the core.php file in 6.8.1 then yes – it slows load speed when I replace the 6.8.0 core.php with the 6.8.1’s version.

I can see how this got missed – the speed increase is still significantly increased when the theme is parred way down and very few plugins are enabled but it’s not that noticeable to go from 0.1s to 1s. However, as soon as a site has a bit extra added, the speed change is very noticeable.

For example, this is the pingdom graph from the last few months after we updated iThemes to 7.2.0: https://i.imgur.com/aSKJveA.png

The downward trend when we reverted iThemes back to 6.7.0 is just as drastic but in the opposite direction.

Apologies for the late update and thank you for the quick replies!

This issue was not with your plugin at all. Instead, it was the default behaviour of WordPress trying to forward what were non-existent pages (privately published pages because they were being edited) to what its best guess what a correct URL. That happened to be an old page that was coincidently one we had redirected a URL to in the past.

I fixed the issue by disabling WP’s auto forward feature using this bit of code:

add_filter('redirect_canonical', 'no_redirect_on_404');
function no_redirect_on_404($redirect_url){
    if (is_404()) {
        return false;
    }
    return $redirect_url;
}
