Hi Ariel,

I know you are aware of the latest Brizy site having missing files but here is a summary of what the issue did to one of our clients sites (https://www.mountain-journeys.co.uk/) from our hosting company. Also worth noting that this client was recommending us to another of his friends but chose not to because of the ongoing issues he's been having due to Brizy.

From what I can see the site has been chugging along as since yesterday morning since 10-11am the CPU usage has been maxed out:

Yesterdays usage:

Todays usage after reverting to previous version of plugin:

I had a look to try and identify what may be causing this and I don't see a large amount of bot traffic.

What I can see though is alot of internal calls WordPress is making to itself internally for example:

The above looks to be from the Brizy page builder, though quite often it is 404ing on some of those requests as there is missing files which I believe is causing a loop and increased CPU usage as a result.

I noticed that some of the files are missing:

• /public_html/wp-content/plugins/brizy-pro/public/editor-build/prod/css/preview-priority.pro.min.css,
• /public_html/wp-content/plugins/brizy-pro/public/editor-build/prod/css/preview.pro.min.css
• /public_html/wp-content/plugins/brizy/public/editor-build/prod/editor/css/preview.min.css

I've restored them from a prior backup from April 17th around 1am.

Since doing that usage has dropped significantly back to normal levels:

Though I'm not sure what would have caused them to have been removed in the first place, possibly some form of plugin data corruption or a partially failed upgrade?

Thanks,
Darren

  Hi Darren,

  Thank you for sharing this.

  That could indeed be what caused the issue, especially with the missing CSS files triggering repeated requests. I understand how frustrating this must be, especially with the potential loss of a client due to this issue.

  We appreciate your feedback. I’ve shared it internally for visibility with the team, and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  I guess it is the same for me.

  I also get "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()"
  for https:/"my-domain"/wp-content/plugins/brizy-pro/public/editor-build/prod/js/preview.pro.min.js?ver=231-we

  This might be related I guess. Or could this be anything different?

  Best regards,

  Bastian
