 magnific-popup.min.css
 Hi, We encountered a major issue with one of the files in DIVI on friday
 evening last at 9pm:
 wp-content/plugins/addons-for-divi/assets/libs/magnific-popup/magnific-
 popup.min.css
 We got support from our server providers - Siteground - who identified
 that this file was passing thousands and thousands of 404 requests and as
 such the CPU usage spiraled out of control [from 68 to 113k passing the
 threshold of 4k allowable] and resulted in shutting down the site and all
 our websites on the server.
 We need to have this reviewed as this could happen again.
 Also we updated the PHP to version 8.0 but had to bring this back to
 version 7.4 again as this impacted the slider plugins on the website.
 Please please provide some assistance...
 Thank you.
 Kevin.
