Thank you, Destac.

I did that, cleared all caches, but it didn’t help. Still 404.

I agree, I was vague. I guess I’m just annoyed that the plugin author hasn’t provided any answers/support for a long time. In my eyes this plugin is slowly decaying.
Yes, this problem occurs mainly on GTmetrix Canada location. If I run test on Pingdom via US servers, many of the tests go okay but eventually I’ll get 404. Again, that has never happened before. My main audience is in the same country that my server is located, so no problem there, all good.

To answer your questions Destac

Did you misconfigure the plugin?
No changes to plugin setting has been made for over a year.

Did you ask for support regarding the plugin?
Answered above.

What caching modules are you running?
Page cache: disk enhanced
Minify: not in use
Database: Opocode:XCache
Object: Opocode:XCache
Browser cache: enabled
No CDN
All settings are a combination of theme authors suggestions with tweaks fo my setup suggested by my host, and they have served me well. I have applied the PHP7 correction that Kimberly has shared on this forum earlier.

Site is running on shared server Apache CGI/FastCGI. PHP 7.0.4, MySQL 5.6.15, WP 4.5.1.

What is the website URL?
https://www.rar.fi

Any insight that you might provide is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You don’t seem to be using a cache plugin, (e.g. super cache or w3 total cache) That is the first step in reducing bandwidth usage. And of course shaving off all unnecessary plugins is important too.

If Bozz means the solution that Kimberly suggested here:https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/problems-with-php-7?replies=6

I don’t think that it will solve the cdn problem.

It’s also worth noting that ever since auto-updating was implemented for minor versions in 3.7, security fixes have been getting continuously backported to those releases with new minor versions, thus keeping those who choose to not update to the latest release still secure.

I did not know that. That’s valuable information, thank you.

If anyone else wants to share they thoughts, they are welcome to do so.

Thank you for your effort. Case closed.

Thank you for your reply.

I wonder though if other WP-users feel the same way as I do about the release speed? Or are we just silent in this community?

To me WP is an empty building. The wires and plumbing are installed, but the furniture and life come from themes and plugins. Since it is a building I fail to see the point why my roof and windows needs to be replaced a way more often than is necessary.
