Look into the other thread. Fixing your product is not my problem. It’s been deleted, and I don’t care about it anymore.

BTW- if you search for this error with your plugin, you’ll see a number of threads with other people in the same situation. One person said it delayed his site from loading 10 seconds or more. For example: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/error-rest-api-loopback/

I’d love to help you out, but I don’t make a living from your plugin. And for my client that was using the plugin, we’ve opted to remove the plugin entirely. Good luck with your fixes.

That’s cute. I tested on a Lightspeed cloud server. I disabled all plugins including WooCommerce. I enabled only Classic editor. No problem. Enabled Contact Form 7 and your plugin. Problem! Disabled your plugin, no problem. Reenabled all plugins except your plugin, still no problem, site loading faster. Your plugin is NOT working properly with all servers.

You’re wrong. Disabling the plugin speeds up the site. It’s exceptionally simple to test, and the results are repeatable. The plugin is trash in its current state.

And it’s not at all unique to me if anybody bothers to search the errors. You’ve been unwilling to fix the issue for nearly a year.

I figured it out (at least for my servers).

Disable zlib output compression and the updates should show status correctly.

It can be done via php.ini if your host allows that. Otherwise, I’ve done this through .htaccess with the following code:

php_flag zlib.output_compression off

On the two sites listed above, I looked at the .htaccess files since that’s the only thing that I can think of that differentiates them. Still no progress.

I’ve tried different PHP versions with no change in behavior. Most of my sites are running on PHP 7.3. I’ve tried as far back as 5.6 on the ones that don’t work, and it doesn’t have an effect.

Keep in mind also that the test example I posted above has two sites on the same shared hosting account, using the same PHP 7.3. One site works, one doesn’t. I don’t know what variable it is that makes it work or not work. The two sites have the same themes and plugins too.

My hosting provider didn’t notice anything in the logs on their end either. It’s very weird!

Thanks,

That’s not it at all. The servers are exceptionally fast. They run the wordpress updates faster than any server I’ve used in over 20 years. Resources are not the issue.

Beyond that, it can’t be a resource issue because the sites that show the progress ALWAYS show the progress, and the sites that don’t NEVER show the progress.

Random variables such as server lag won’t give consistent results like that.
