Today’s improvements. 1. I am now adding Bytedance’s spider from both the Forums and Wikis. I tracked requests from 17,000 IP addresses today. Bad, bad, Bytedance, be better. I feel like sending them an invoice.
2. I’ve tuned the Apache and php fpm workers to be balanced. Response times seem to be in decent shape. We are averaging about 100,000 requests an hour on across the 10 forums including 403 on denied requests.
