Would also like to know what this is about. I am getting security messages regarding this.

My antivirus is blocking whatever this is. Please explain shopify

I also have the same issue. Is this something that we should be concerned about?

I've been having load page errors with this for some time. I have contacted support and after several emails, I still do not know what it is or where it comes from. I thought it was related to my homepage slider. I removed that but it remains. And, as of today it is loading THREE times or else I have 3 instances of it. It adds page load and I want it gone or to at least understands its purpose.

This is the message my antivirus shows, this can't be good for my business if customers see this. Again please explain Shopify

I finally got in touch with shopify. this is apparently what it is.

Maria A:  

I got a response from our Technical Team.

Maria A:  

So here's what they said, just have them add it to their exceptions, that is part of our load balancing system

Maria A:  

Also, 100% safe, but because it redirects some anti-viruses don't like it

Bianca Lawrence:  

very good, does it make sense to you, it probably won't to me lol

Maria A:  

yeah just have them hit that “add to exceptions” button and she shouldnt have any other issues :smile: its just an anti-virus being overly cautious

Bianca Lawrence:  

thank you again, have a good day

Maria A:  

Yeah of course! It's kinda bothering since it's coming from the anti virus

I just don't understand why this file is becoming a bigger and bigger presence in my website loading. As of today it's making 5 requests per page load.
