Something seems to be blocking my ad requests?
-
Hello,
I am struggling with a problem that’s happening on both my pc and my phone with ads. I don’t know if the update of WordPress or some plugin is causing it and I am completely desperate to fix it.
I am using a third-party ad company to serve ads (Venatus) and I am using Ad Inserter plugin to serve the ads with the codes they provided. There were no Javascript errors or anything, it was “visible” for the viewport I specified when I checked the blocks in the debugging tool. While I am logged in (no incognito), the ads usually load (not always). When I try it in the Incognito (Chrome, Edge…) it almost never loads the ads and I see only blanks. Same for the phone.
What’s surprising, everything was working fine until a few days ago when it started showing only blank preloaded blocks (this issue was intermittently happening, so not all the time). Before, I was using Ad Inserter plugin for many months with zero issues. Yesterday and the day before, the impressions for ads dropped by more than 40%, so I assume it’s working incorrectly for many users because I had the same amount of users on my site according to Google Analytics.
I tried reverting my site back to the date when the impressions were normal ( both files and the db) – no success. I updated my WP version to 5.9 & also plugins, still no luck. I continued to Disable all plugins except for the 3 essential ones, then disabled literally everything except for Ad Inserter, still not loading when tried in Incognito or loading only sometimes… I even disabled Cloudflare for a limited amount of time but that did not solve anything either…
I am using both Cloudflare and Wordfence but I was using them even before.
I am at my wit’s end. It seems like something is blocking these requests but I have no idea what? (screenshot included)
Is there anything I can do more to fix this or what to do to make them load like before?
Thank you
