Just to confirm the issue is still going, and being experienced throughout the week, not just on Mondays.

Is there an update on this slow issue?
It is becoming a PR problem. People are not going to wait for pages to appear.

We were attacked by a badly behaved web crawling robot called "semalt" (look it up).

Brian has blocked them, but they are still trying to access club websites via our server, sometimes 2 or 3 times a second.

I have taken further action to get rid of them, and we will continue to work on addressing this.
