It fixed itself… after days.

• This reply was modified 7 years ago by EnduringEpilepsy.

I think I found a solution and wanted to share it with you/post it here for future reference.

You can integrate Fontello easily using a plugin I found: WP SVG Icons

I believe I may have to change the coding, as it looks that the short codes are different than what I had previously, but this should get me fixed up.

Ok, That may be from the theme I’m working away from (no longer receiving support or updates). I will look to see if there is a way to integrate it. Otherwise I may have to find another means of the icons. Hmm…

No. It’s just that while I know the basics of design and development, I have used quite a few plugins for my site and know that I’m heavy on JS because of that. It’s why I had taken advantage of PageSpeed up until now.

I actually just found a free CDN, Incapsula, I’m going to try out since I don’t use a lot of bandwidth right now. Hopefully it will keep things in check until I can explore further options.

That’s why I was aggravated by Google to begin with when the turn down announcement came out and the significant lack of information that was provided. Unfortunately right now I don’t have the budget for CloudFlare, but I at least wanted to find a means of continuing to help the page load (I have a crap load of javascript).

Hopefully in the near future I can look at using it (I’m going to be working with a major health care provider and am looking to get financial grants/support). Again, why I was frustrated by having to pull teeth with Google.They just put everyone who had been using PageSpeed in a corner with no real support and it took me weeks to get this answer out of them.

Well, its taken endless prying (more like pulling teeth) but I think I may have gotten an answer about how we can use mod_pagespeed in .htaccess from Google.

Google thread on PageSpeed

PageSpeed link on GoDaddy

Google PageSpeed Developers Resource

No manual jobs. I haven’t touched the wp-cron.

The scans run, but most don’t finish if I initiate them. The automatic ones seem to.

It’s always that 74.125.44.78. I ran it through WhoIs in Wordfence and got Google:

NetRange: 74.125.0.0 – 74.125.255.255 [65536 addresses in this network. Click to block this network]

I use PageSpeed Service for helping my page load so maybe its related to that. ?? My server at GoDaddy redirects there, and Google optimizes it. Right now I have settings for JavaScript that:

Proxy & cache
Inline files smaller than 2048 bytes
Combine
Minify

I also use Total Cache.

Would any of this also be causing the No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header? I’m a bit confused by that… I don’t write any of my javascript, just have plugins.

I appreciate your helping me fix this. It’s still hitting the site constantly.

I’m having the very same problem. My site is actually going down for a brief period (usually 5-15 minutes) each day. I get the report in an email from JetPack. This seems to be when they are all trying to login. I’ve tried blocking each of the hosts and as a source site without success. But I’m getting the attempts from:

fastwebnet.it
eutelia.it
static.albacom.net
interac.it

If anyone finds out how to shut this down it would be great.

No. It’s on www.ads-software.com. https://www.enduringepilepsy.com I manage it on my service through GoDaddy.

The wordpress.com is likely because of the stats since I have Jetpack connected for managing them. it’s an option that is offered for having more views of your stats. Also wp.com is used for alot of the common core files.

If you search the address: https://stats.wp.com/e-201504.js a file comes up. But as I stated the error says its in an external file and its not being found. So I’m wondering why I’m receiving the error.

No luck. I’m still getting hits constantly from the IP 74.125.19.14.

My latest activity file on GoDaddy says the referring URL is:

https://www.enduringepilepsy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceActivity

And the User Agent is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.124 Safari/537.36

I’m stumped and still a bit desperate here…

I contacted PageSpeed and received this response:

Thank you for trying PageSpeed Service and for reporting the issue.

To implement X-forwarded-for on your domain we suggest you some steps to follow as below:

1.You need to edit the wp-config.php file located in the root of your site. At the top of the file (? And after the <php), add this code snippet:

// ** WordPress x-forwarded-for ip fix ** //
 if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
 $xffaddrs = explode(',',$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
 $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $xffaddrs[0];

}

2. Now, disable the rewriters as per the first screenshot attached.

3. Then, flush caches as per the second screenshot and then turn rewriter again.

It will take 24 to 48 hours to propagate successfully.

Please let us know if you face any other issues.

I just added the code to my wp-config a few minutes ago so I’m waiting to see if this helps.

I don’t know what exactly x-forwarded is. ??? If it might have been an upgrade my hosting did or what but I’ve got my fingers crossed this helps.

I looked at the activity on my hosting (GoDaddy) and saw that all of the almost all of the activity says it from Wordfence and my admin-ajax.php file ???

Recent Activity

Each hit is coming back with this as the “referring” URL, which makes no sense to me: https://www.enduringepilepsy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceBlockedIPs

I’m desperate here guys. I gotta get whatever this is fixed so it isn’t ruling my site. I’m trying to track down as much information as possible about the potential source of the issue. But I’m reaching a point where I’m a little lost in the maze and unsure where to go without causing more problems.

Help… please. Thank you.

Ok – this is getting a whole lot worse. I looked and saw that there was a login from Mountain View, United States. The IP address is 74.125.19.14. The WHOIS says its Google. But I know that PageSpeed is set up though the server, and does not require a login

I tried blocking the IP and Wordfence says I can’t block my own IP. So whoever or whatever this is has clearly made changes.

I changed my password (50 characters from 1Password) last night and still received 3 emails this morning of attempted logins blocked from IPs 74.125.19.14, 74.125.16.6, 74.125.41.4 using ‘admin’ as user

Please help!

Thanks Thomas, but that doesn’t solve the problem… I’m still having this kill my CPU. And actually getting quite a few different IPs now. Thats just the most prominent in my activity log.

I do use PageSpeed and have for quite awhile now, but never had a like this problem until this week. So something has changed. Hopefully Tim and I can find the solution quickly.

Maybe this? Google Forum on Robots.txt

Code I think it may be related to in my .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>

I just need to figure this out. Literally Google is crawling my site constantly right now. I have a hit in my live activity every minute or two from either 173.194.99.134 or 74.125.178.17. And I have no clue why…

BTW- I changed settings to Security Level: Lockdown after receiving email about Bash vulnerability. My hosting is aware of issue and supposed to be addressing it, but I took the step for extra precaution.
