adamlg Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) FYI anyone having load spikes, or other high load issues I have found a possible solution. Providing that you have your own domain, and run it through Cloudflare, you can set page rules. In your CF account under your domain look for "Rules>Page Rules" then +add rules. Here is an example of what I set up. It seems to be working. My load was looming upwards of 7500. Now stable under 1700. *Wordpress users can also use "Super Page Cache for Cloudflare" plugin for WP, and set even more customization. I recommend turning off automatic updates. I would also recommend removing any themes you are not using as well as unused plugins. *https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/general-troubleshooting/troubleshooting-surges-or-spikes-in-web-traffic/ Edited November 16, 2023 by adamlg Added tags and additional information about Wordpress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hestia66 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 "your own domain"... and "through cloudflare"... which means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 He means a domain that you own/provide (as in, one that does not end in .heliohost.us or .helioho.st), and is using Cloudflare for DNS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
