Title: Infintely Requesting itself Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Infintely Requesting itself * [adityakumar969](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adityakumar969/) * (@adityakumar969) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/infintely-requesting-itself/) * Hey, * A week ago ( even before I upgraded to 3.0 i noticed that my bandwidth usage increased like 1000 % while the visitor count remained relatively same. I got a message from my hosting provider that I was using 50 GB of bandwidth a DAY for my tiny blog 😐 . Later they told me that it was because ” wordpress was infinitely requesting itself”. It got to a point where it began to strain the resources of the shared server.I upgraded to 3.0 hoping it will all clear out, but it did not. * Any ideas on what I can do to get it to stop .

Open a ticket with your hosting company immediatly as mentioned. Have seen where this is caused by SQL injection. * Thread Starter [adityakumar969](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adityakumar969/) * (@adityakumar969) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/infintely-requesting-itself/#post-1551435) * Support Staff Response Dear Sir/Madam, * Thank you for contacting Hosting Support. * It appears the over-utilization is being caused primarily by your account accesseing itself repeatedly.
