I see more of this error these days in error_log. I see that someone asked this question here a year ago but no solution. Please advise what is causing this issue. Already, tried deactivating some plugins like w3total cache, disabled a few options like minify on w3total cache but nothing helped. Also, the site is using cloudfront, optimized. please advise.
