 * GTmetrix reports that twice there is a GET request to chimpstatic that 403’s.
   APi key is correct as is the verified domain.
 * Can you help to resolve this issue? Thanks

 * Can be any firewall/network issue between you and MailChimp.
 * In the log on the Other page of our plugin there might be more exact info, not
   sure what GTmetrix is.
 * If you want to know exactly why your call was blocked you would have to contact
   the MailChimp / Akamai network team. We don’t get any more info that you about
   that most of the time.
 * Hope that helps.
