Suddenly Users Accessing AO URLs

I have no idea what has changed in WooCommerce 8.8.x nor how you configured Autoptimize, but if you can share your site’s URL I’ll happy to take a look at what might be creating those requests ??

In your logs, what user agent(s) are making the requests for those files? Are they all from Edge?

This appears to be a bug in Edge, related to its Shopping feature.

interesting, do you have any link with more information @clorentzen ?

I wasn’t aware of a bug in Edge, but I may disable AO as our log files are quickly filling up. I also wonder how all these unwanted requests are killing our site speed?

Here’s a user that’s active right now who is also generating all these unwanted requests:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/124.0.0.0

Hello, same issue here. It’s started 3 days ago. Only Edge useradgents. @clorentzen any source of your info ?

Well, I spent several hours the other day going through logs and other monitoring trying to figure out the source of the requests. We realized that only Edge user agents had the issue — and if you manually turn off Shopping in Edge settings, the requests go away.

Also: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/4534

Based on the last comments on that github ticket, the root cause for the issue _should_ be fixed, hope all who noticed these 404’ed requests are seeing significantly less (or none anymore) by now?

I’ll close the topic, but do feel free to follow up!
