This might make it clearer, there has been a new type of negative seo bots on the loose. They spam your website with source url’s causing nothing but thousands of 404’s being returned.

As you can see in this screenshot, they just generate random shit but the one thing always coming back is bbjjzz.com in the link. I’d like to automatically redirect them to front page so a 404 isn’t generated and picked up by google bots.

I found out how to change ?s= to /search/*keyword , now cache enabler started making cached files of the results but it isn’t showing them still because the initiator is still ?s=* and thats a query so the query gets processed instead of the /search/page served. Any help would be much appreciated

I found an old mention of this by @gnetworkau
if you read this, could you tell me exactly what you changed in the php file to have it work please, I tried removing the is_search but nothing happened ?? ?

Searching works with “?s=*” I think that is standard for wordpress?

thank you !

I found out the only thing accessing the above is googlebot. Its going ham for days now ??

We use cloudflare, I fail to see how cloudflare helps in the problem I described ? ??
Cloudflare offloads file serving right (jpg, html, js, etc)

How would cloudflare help us with the caching of “latest post” query exactly? (I might be missing a function lol)

Everything back to normal on 4.9, i’ll keep it this way for a while …

I’ll try a rollback to 4.9 , things started getting out of control after the update.
I’ll report back.

@ajay I tried reloading a page in the google network view, its showing me:

It used to show a tptn call in the posts url form data, that is gone now.

That is exactly what I did @ajay , just asking if there is anything to double check if its actually doing its thing ??

Yes, it is supposed to be active right now. Any idea how I can check if it is actually doing its thing? The website talks about an actual spreadsheet where visits are saved, can I access this somehow ?

Hey, thanks @ajay for the info, I have tried enabling the caching option but it seems to still be loading the tptn thing on every page and sending admin-ajax requests everytime any page gets loaded…

@pasyuk

any updates ?

My nginx log still shows hundreds of ajax.php requests because of gmedia, its absolutely tearing my server apart. (even after the latest update that said stuff can now be cached)

Thanks !

Also, if you get around to answering the above, does supercache also have something to do with the “load more, 3 dots” button reloading the same images over and over instead of the remaining other pictures?

Enabling any other module ends up showing all the albums’ pictures in one big mess instead of showing an album cover with the images behind it.

Any way I can pay you to do the ajax call cache ? It would GREATLY improve performance because the albums/covers and images in the albums remain static, I don’t see why it is not cached in the first place. Seems really inefficient.
