I received a message from my hosting service saying that it’s a mandatory anti-bot security measure (as I have a free hosting plan).
It’s not a WordPress thing.
I too and have an aes.js issue. In the last 24 hours I have learned that aes.js is a Google Crypto JavaScript that enables safe running of the aforementioned. The problem isn’t the script it’s that way the script is being called. The html syntax is wrong. The opening <body> tag is where the call is unfortunately I can’t locate it. It’s not in the “header.php” and I’m not sure where to look. This is the problem “Error Line 1, Column 1: no document type declaration; implying “<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>” <html><body><h2>Checking your browser..<h2><script type=”text/javascript” src=”aes.js”/>” This script overides the “!doctype” declaration and the “UTF-8” encoding info so the browser and bots are not sure what to do with the site. Hope this helps a little I’ll let you know when I figure out how to repair it.
how is this resolved? i am having the same problem! this started two weeks back and delays the home page. does anyone have a workaround for this?
So this is the official announcement by bytehost 🙁
Hi All,
Due to massive amounts of auto / bot /spam / application serving specific traffic causing performance degradation issues on free hosting services we have added new measures to reduce this.
You may have seen the new ‘Checking browser’ page, if so you would have also seen your page load faster than before after running this check.
The check is mandatory on free hosting, and may change over time, if you are using your free website for hosting a webpage, and this is causing issues contact us using the support channels in your vPanel.
If you are using your free hosting service for application hosting then we would recommend upgrading to premium hosting.
As always we are striving to offer the best ‘free web hosting’ experience, while dealing with the one in 100 that causes the problems for the majority.

This prevents google webmasters tool to work on my website. Google can’t crawl any of my articles. This sucks.
