    176.xx.96.xxx – – [10/Mar/2025:23:59:58 +0300] “GET /?no-cache=1741640362 HTTP/2.0” 200 30621 “-” “WordPress/6.7.2; blabladotcom” “176.xx.96.xxx”

    When I monitor the Nginx logs in real-time, I see that it keeps sending the above request on its own, almost as if it’s performing a DDoS attack on the website. After a while, I notice an increase in CPU usage.

    When I disable the plugin, I observe that these requests stop and the CPU and RAM usage decrease.

    Please check your own Nginx logs.

    Could you please confirm whether you have contacted customer support? Also, since you mentioned a high CPU request, please specify if there is any particular action that leads to a spike in RAM usage.

    This is actually a live log entry I got from Nginx, but imagine thousands of these coming in, with about 5-6 requests per second.

    Since my server has very low specifications, it causes the system to freeze. I didn’t create a request; I just wrote it here directly because I don’t know how to create one.

    I analyzed it using the command:

    bash

    tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log

    It keeps changing the no-cache=1741640362 parameter and making requests repeatedly. I kindly request you to check this.
