“Posts > Edit” results in http HEAD commands for <a> links
-
I have several
<a>
tags in my blog posts which redirect to affiliate links, by using the Pretty Link plugin.The problem – every time I edit a post, my WP install is performing http HEAD commands on all of the
<a>
tags.When I log into my affiliate marketing portal, I see a whole bunch of “clicks” from my server fetching the http HEAD command. Of course, these false clicks skew the conversion tracking on the links.
What is causing WP to fetch http HEAD on the
<a>
tags every time I edit posts, and how do I get it to stop? The HEAD commands are definately coming from my server, as the apache logs show my server IP, the redirect link, and the HEAD every time it is requested.
