P15-D24 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 The site was getting hit by over 300 bots searching the content. Under that load the site was saturated and just stopped responding until the load dropped. Good news is the server never crashed which then would have caused more recovery issues. The ISP blocked most of the bots and response time immediately improved. If this becomes an ongoing issue I will probably have to add another layer of protection like Cloud Flare.You have probably seen this already when a widow appears asking you to check a box if you are human.
