 * All three of my sites on my home server are showing this error/issue. I have 
   gone ahead and loaded up a virtual machine on Google Cloud Platform, did an install
   of WordPress, and got the exact same message on their servers.

 * We want to help you find the reason for the issue you’re facing. Please follow
   these steps:
    1. Open your web browser’s developer tools by going to Browser Tools → Network.
    2. In the Network tab, click on XHR to focus on XMLHttpRequests.
    3. Go to Statistics → Overview.
    4. Click on each request related to WP Statistics and tell us:
 *  - What response you see.
    - The number (like 200 or 404) you see as a code.
    - Anything important you notice.
 * Also, could you let us know if you have any security plugins on your WordPress
   site? Some plugins can affect WP REST API, which might be related to the issue.

 * Also, I didnt have any other plugin installed when I did a fresh install on Google
   Cloud Platform. I think it could only be CloudFlare or this plugin.

 * It seems it’s the ad-blocker issue, you need to unblock the request through XHR
   or exclude **/wp-json/wp-statistics/v2/metabox** in the extention.
 * Can you please check it?

 * It immediately fixed it. I’ve been using adblock for 10 years, and never had 
   issues with wp-statistics until now, but it is fixed now.

 * Yeah, we’ve started adding that URL to [https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt](https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt)
   whitelist.

 * This is the culprit, and unchecking EasyPrivacy worked.
