<p class="MsoNormal">The last couple of weeks, we have suddenly started experiencing extreme slowness with our ArchivesSpace instance (hosted by LibraryHost). The suspicion is that it has something to do with AI bots crawling the site and just slamming the
server until it crawls. (Here’s our instance, in case you want to experience the pain by searching for something:
<a href="https://wright.libraryhost.com/">https://wright.libraryhost.com/</a>.) <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone else experiencing issues recently? And are you LibraryHost hosted, Lyrasis hosted, self-hosted, or some other hosting service I’m not aware of?<o:p></o:p></p>
