• Hi,

    My IP address has a count of 1665 accessing my website, this seems rather too high to say the least. But I’ve run every malware scan on the device and CPU check etc and everything seems okay. Anyone know what else could cause this?

    Meanwhile my host has a count of 154, which they said is indicative of “loosely configured scripts of plugins on the account” could anyone please explain this in layman’s terms to me?

    Since that statement is made your hosting provider, I recommend asking them what they mean by it.

    Hi @t-p

    Sadly I keep getting a different person and they don’t know after they said it.

    While I looked at my Raw access for IP, and just today it shows 413 from my IP address and 400+ from the host. But they don’t know what is going on. The raw access log shows things like:

    GET /wp-admin/ HTTP/2.0″
    GET / HTTP/2.0″ 200
    GET /wp-admin/ HTTP/2.0″ 302
    POST /wp-cron.php
    GET /wp-includes/js/dist/
    GET /wp-includes/js/hoverIntent
    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax
    GET / HTTP/1.1″ 301

    Grateful for any help

    That looks normal. Why is this a problem? Where are you hosting? Is this some really cheap or free plan?

    Hi @sterndata

    The website has become very very slow. Which they said was due to high IP logins from myself which is exorbitantly beyond high, and from themselves which they said is due to “loosely configured scripts of plugins on the account” but you get a new person each time they reply, so I’m not getting anywhere in knowing what’s going on, and Ive spent four full days looking at this with no luck.

    None of those aere logins; it’s just your site doing things in the background. What you quotes sounds like a bunch of “stuff” to explain away bad hosting.

    Hi @sterndata

    So in the last 24 hours my website has recorded 2021 IP hits from my IP and 652 from the host IP. Most of these are admin-Ajax requests, which appears to be due to Heartbeat API but we haven’t even launched yet and this already seems very high, is this normal? And should we disable it?

    Thanks
