 * Hi [@bencico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bencico/)
 * As you mentioned that you are getting it on every 3rd-5th page load. So is it
   occurring randomly? Or happening on a particular page in admin?

 * Hi [@anandau14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anandau14/) ,
    It seems to
   be completely random, yes. For some admin pages, it occurs more often, and I 
   have seen it on the frontend only once, while being logged in as administrator,
   and navigating from the dashboard to the frontend.
 * I sent the system info through the contact from just now.
