Conflict with W3Counter?

Hi Adeelkhan,

First of all, thank you very much for creating such a great and lightweight plugin and making it available for free. I really appreciate all your hard work.

I just updated the plugin yesterday to the latest version and something weird is happening.

The site is loading extremely slow (15 seconds or more. Usually it’s under 3.)

I checked my traffic stats this morning as I do every morning and noticed my traffic had dropped by almost 100% yesterday and the current day. I checked and we are still indexed in Google and we still have our keywords rankings the same as before. There were no other issues.

I checked other sources and it seemed like our traffic hadn’t actually dropped but there was an issue with the W3counter analytics that we use.

So when I check the Apache error log I saw a whole bunch of errors such as:

AH01276: Cannot serve directory /public/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.htm,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

and

[core:error] [pid 15803:tid 140383480702720] (36)File name too long: [client 87.102.119.16:0] AH00127: Cannot map HEAD /free-software-download-sites/@2x.data:image/svg+xml;base64,PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiPz4KPHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iNDhweCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI0OHB4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDggNDgiIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIge…This (the charactors) continues for a few paragpahs

While digging on Google, somebody mentioned checking for recently updated plugins. I diactivated Breeze and sure enough the W3copunter stats starts counting again. I also deactivated and activated other recently updated plugins and none of them made any difference. So I am assuming the latest update to Breeze had something to do with it.

Also, after deactivating Breeze, the site started loading fast again!

I am not very technical when it comes to this but I’d be happy to provide more info if needed.

I know you are busy and this is a free plugin so please take your time. For the time being, I deactivated the plugin so it’s no issue for now. But I would love it if you could look into it and see if you can find out what the issue is.

Thanks very much in advance.

Saeed
