Deleted images getting crawled by GTMetrix

Have you searched your site’s source? Perhaps the images are still referenced somewhere.

Also, search for the image’s filename in both the Posts, Pages, and Comments section of your Dashboard.

I did a search, don’t find them. And if I enter the URL the 404’s don’t show up. So, I guess it must have something to do the way GTMetrix checks the site, but can’t find a clue. Or it must use some caching. And another thing, the crawled filenames look like
uploads\year\month\NameF%E2%680%A6, whereas the files present are something like NameFotografie.jpg and variations like NameFotografie-600×400.jpg.

Are you choosing the re-test option? If you just re-visit the same test URL, it just shows the results from that test.

Good point. I might have done that before. But I went to GTmetrix and entered the URL ‘new’. At least now it doesn’t show 404’s. Well if the automatic daily check does the re-test than that might explain a lot.
I’ll remove the daily thing and make a new one.

A bit later: I did another run by entering the URL, but now it gives 404’s again. Or it is based on the location it uses when testing. Vancouver didn’t give the 404’s, London does.
Another time Vancouver but now it gives 403-messages. I removed banned ip’s, so weird. Will check it out later.

Thanx.
