 * Hello,
 * We recently started to use spotlight to add an instagram feed and really like
   it. However, today our webhost informed us the plugin is creating 10,000+ redirects
   like this
    128.210.23.92 – – [19/Nov/2021:09:16:42 -0500] “GET /?sli-img=B1t7NfGFuL8&
   size=l HTTP/1.1” 302 – “-” “WordPress/5.8.1; [https://dev.hhs.purdue.edu&#8221](https://dev.hhs.purdue.edu&#8221);
   and causing high load on the server. Do you have any idea what is causing that
   and how we can stop it creating so many redirects? Thank you very much for your
   help!
 * Yanhua

 * [@zong6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zong6/) the redirects are coming
   from our image proxy which is used as a last-resort backup just in case the images
   in your feed fail to be loaded correctly. We’re looking into updating or removing
   it in order to avoid such issues.
 * Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

 * [@zong6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zong6/) we had fixed this issue 
   back in version 0.9.4, so if you’re using an older version, updating to the latest
   version may fix it for you. Further investigation did show that that fix from
   v0.9.4 might miss a few edge-cases, so we’re working on tightening that up in
   an upcoming update.
