Website Slow

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

Thanks for the work that you do to keep the website running.

Understood. Brian has a hunch about what is going on--I promise you that we are looking at this.

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.

My two sites have been experiencing this as well.
No Pressure! lol I really mean that ...Adding a comment, which documents issue for the PRES. & follows the thread. easy peasy.
