So it seems as if the reason we're so slow is "AI"* bot scraping. Not an easy one to solve as they don't identify as bots, "AI" bots identify using standard user strings. I'm working on a couple of things at the moment, but it might just mean chucking a load of memory at the problem and living with it.

It's obviously because everything I post is so interesting and factual that all the AIs in the world want to use my posts as answers to search queries.


*Mostly this isn't real AI, it's just human style responses to search queries. I did suggest a better description of this technology would be Advanced Response Search Engines, but for some reason it didn't get much traction.

Can't you just chuck it behind Cloudflare? Their bot detection is very good.
