    I noticed a significant drop in my statistics.

    After checking all possible reasons, I found that all my URLs on Facebook were causing too many redirects.

    If I flush the cache, some URLs work for a few minutes, but then the redirect loop happens again.

    After disabling the LiteSpeed plugin, everything works as expected.

    –

    After some test, I can confirm redirect loop with recommended preset. Work again with essential or basic (I maintain this atm).

    —

    edit, again crash also with basic. Now with essential.

    –

    also with essential crash after some time.

    disabled again.

    that sounds like some URL was having 2 status , one for visit , one is for redirection , but in some case , the normal display URL was cached first before the redirection URL , then it works for sometime , then the redirection URL was cached first before the normal display URL , so it ends up in redirection loop 

    function disable_cache_on_redirection($location, $status) {
        do_action( 'litespeed_control_set_nocache', 'no cache due to category setting' );
        return $location;
    }
    add_filter('wp_redirect', 'disable_cache_on_redirection', 10, 2);

    please try this code snippet to disable the cache on redirection , see how it goes

    tried just now (added in as Mu-Plugins).

    set recommended , atm seems to work so good.

    I continue with this or will be fixed in future release? I lost a lot of visitors cause of this ??

    ps: TYSM for quick reply. Really appreciated ??

    you can keep it in your mu-plugin

    it might be better you can find out when/how it will redirect , otherwise this code will work as well.

    The issue only occurs when I share the dvlr link on Facebook and access it through a browser where I’m not logged in.

    In the Facebook app and the in-app browser, there is a continuous loop. However, if I use Firefox, where I am logged in, there are no issues.

    Now, it seems to be working fine even in the in-app browser. I will mark this as resolved, but I think it would be best to include this fix in the next release since it doesn’t seem to cause any issues when using this snippet atm; it just works.

    defined('ABSPATH') || exit;

    // Redirect fix filter
    add_filter('wp_redirect', function($location, $status) {
        do_action('litespeed_control_set_nocache', 'no cache due to category setting');
        return $location;
    }, 10, 2);}
