It seems there is a self referring script that generates additional overhead and this why the most common IP address is the server’s IP:

    Hi, SLB does not contain any files that refer back to themselves, so it’s unclear what your webhost is referring to. If you can provide clarification on this from the host, that would be great.

    Otherwise, you may want to delete the plugin and reinstall the latest version of SLB in case something occurred with the currently-installed copy.

    This ticket has been closed due to inactivity. If you are still experiencing an issue with SLB, please post an update with additional details and I would be glad to reopen the ticket and take another look.

    Thank you.
