Apologies for what's been happening over the past day or so. I'm just gone the road for about a week and things always seem to go to pot when I go away ๐ , which is probably why I've been slow to spot extent of the problem. The site is basically riddled with bots in the background trying to scrape content (not just AI bots like OpenAI, Apple, Google, Baidu, Alibaba etc but home-made python scripts etc, few of which obey any kind of crawl limit and some even disguise their identities to prevent them being blocked). May have to go nuclear soon and block everything, but then it affects things like SEO if you block the wrong bots (which then affects traffic to the site). I'll keep a closer eye to see what attacks the site next. I'm sat in a hotel room at the moment trying to restore normal service, chained to my computer just like I'm at home, incredibly frustrating & hopefully things become a bit better today. _________________ Bluesky ยท Facebook ยท Spotify ยท X

No worries, seems to be back to normal for time being (blocked a very aggressive crawler). _________________ Bluesky ยท Facebook ยท Spotify ยท X
