Good news I was able to find a solution.

Apparently when you are moving over the plugin Wordfence. It sometimes puts the wrong location for WAF in the user.ini file which points to a file path that exist on the server but not on a localhost. All you have to do is find the user.ini and delete all the information included and you will be able to log into the site with no problems.

And that’s without deleting Wordfence or changing any settings in Really Simple SSL.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi Nicolas,

So I appreciate the solution provided. However, Wordfence and Simple SSL are part of my plugins. Now I can make a backup by manually making one.

But if you are saying that then there is zero reason for anyone to use a scheduled backup as you scheduled backup will have these plugins running since it doesn’t make much sense to disable them?

Any other solutions?

I have also noticed the same problem. Swift seems to eat space like nobodies business. My website which is around 700mb within a week double and trippled to almost 2gigs of space just from Swift. When I deleted the cache everything seems fine again but the cache seems to have a leak in it.

I retract that.

The original keyword used was:
cheap web design service

which still shows no signs of being fixed. Apparently I posted the wrong keyword above.

Calin,

Submitted that word to the support team and now you guys have what changed it?

Too bad if you look at these images you will see that Squirrly is in fact giving people false positives on keywords.

Something is clearly wrong with your Keyword search. Don’t play the cover up game it makes you guys look like complete jerks! I am completely shocked and blown away that a company would do this. I really like Squirrly but this is shocking me to the core.

What are you going to wait another two weeks and then change that result too? Need me to upload more, I have tons of keywords I’ve tested that are giving me false positives.

Be happy. You likely saved your self some time and headache.

While the app is great at least certain parts are other parts are plain broken. Squirrly’s team says an update is coming but I can’t fathom how you can boast that you offer keywords but yet their keywords are all outdated and not correct as per SEO tools.

A fine example is the keyword:
how much does a website cost to build

Squirrly says the SEO data is awesome! 4,000 searches.

Yeah not so much…other tools show this gets only 50 if that searches a month.

Buyer beware this tool is half baked.

Which by the way. Just checked Serp and ya…it shows a SEO monthly of 10.

Here is an screenshot of what Squirrly shows.

An explanation is needed.

Alright my friend then riddle me this:

Here is an example keyword.

Keyword: cheap web design service

Google: 100-1k monthly, comp low

Squirrly: 9999, good for ranking,

Webtexttool: N/A, N/A, N/A

When I confronted Webtexttool about this and asked why there was a variance in the numbers they told me, check moz and ahrefs. Sure enough I did and both provided NO DATA meaning that keyword doesn’t rank. I showed them my Google keyword Planner settings which are set to world wide which is why that keyword was ranking on Google rather than us.

Squirrly Keyword tool has some problems. I’ve reached out to their team for comment but I haven’t heard anything yet. Either way it seems Squirrly Keyword numbers are not accurate.

My page ranks number 1 on Google for several terms and I was getting ZERO traffic. Confused, I was scratching my head going, I don’t get it. Squirrly says this is a good key word. I go check Ahref’s or Moz (which by the way is like the holy grail of keywords) and guess what, their numbers are not matching up.

So you are more than welcome to believe whatever you want to believe. But right not until you can show me data that proves otherwise, I’m not seeing the same results.

Yup. As a matter of fact. I just got a free trial for webtexttool. So I decided let me test my keywords against Squirrly’s because so many of the SEO chatter was that Squirrly uses outdated databases.

So I took 5 keywords. I put them in both programs and the results were nothing short of amazing. Some keywords that Squirrly says are awesome are in fact terrible.

The search traffic and rankings are completely wrong! Someone in the Google group had mentioned he tried for a few years and notice they never change.

Squirrly’s base is very good. There addon’s of keyword search and such as total garbage.

Disappointed in the program as a whole. Moving on.
