    Hello I am optimizing my cache using wp Rocket and when I run a page speed test using GTmetrix, it shows me in the report a 404 request for which I can not find the url it is calling from in my directory. I am hoping you can help me identify it, so i can remove it.
    It is happening on my home page
    http://www.oceanportalproject.org

    Here is the message I get using GTmetrix.com
    The following requests are returning 404/410 responses. Either fix the broken links, or remove the references to the non-existent resources.

    I am hoping you can help me find
    http://oceanportalproject.org/flashmediaelement.swf

    so I can remove it.

    Best regards – George

    Hello George,

    Have you tried disabling all third-party plugins to see if it gets fixed?

    Regards,

    Hello josue,

    Yes, I should have done that first. When I deactivate the plugins it does disappear, I will find the issue and contact the developer of the plugin.
    Some recommendations from GTmetrics did show up though about deferred parsing of js files could allow the page to load faster. I will open a new request with that issue.
    Thanks for your help

    Best regards,

    George
