Hey,

I wanted to get your opinions on something.

I've been seeing a tiny lag in my site's loading time, usually in the morning and only for a few seconds at a time. It is intermittent, meaning 5 minutes of normal behavior and then the pages load slowly for about 20 seconds and then back to normal.

My host said the network seems fine but they have noticed that there are a handful of IPs that have multiple hundreds of connections each.

They took my server offline for a bit to check something and when it came back on the CPU usage was through the roof with those same IPs - about 10 to 20 of them - immediately connecting again with multiple hundreds of connections.

They said they don't know if those are legit surfers with ultra fast internet connections or bots trying to scrape or attack the site.

Any ideas?

Thanks
