I work for a managed hosting provider, and the recent spike in AI-driven traffic / bot load has been a real headache. The most common issue we see is heavy load caused by faceted searches. What happens: bots hit the faceted search endpoints, apply multiple filters, and that triggers lots of PHP + database work. Since they come in high-volume and very aggressively at the same time, the server starts swapping and eventually goes OOM. Most of the affected sites are Magento 2 shops (with some WordPress instances mixed in). Typical stack on our servers: Debian MySQL PHP-FPM NGINX ElasticSearch Varnish We’re also not huge fans of Cloudflare in these cases because it limits our ability to act on specific offending IPs hitting the origin. We can manage Cloudflare for customers, but we charge a fee for it, which makes some customers hesitant. So I’m looking for ideas: what can we do to optimize our stack and better handle this kind of bot/faceted-search load? Any suggestions would be really appreciated—rate limiting, caching strategy, WAF rules, Magento/DB tuning, php-tuning, anything. submitted by /u/Lost-Cobbler-1668 [link] [comments]

This summer I started InfaWeb, a web design business, after being accepted into Ontario’s Summer Company Program and receiving a $3,000 grant to help get the business started. I’ve been working on both new websites and redesigns for small businesses, and something I’ve noticed is that most owners really don’t want to deal with the technical side after their website is finished. They want their website to work, load quickly, stay secure, and be there when customers need it. They don’t necessarily want to manage hosting accounts, DNS, SSL certificates, backups, updates, or troubleshoot things themselves. Because of that, I’ve started thinking of hosting and ongoing maintenance as part of the overall service rather than just handing over the finished website and disappearing. For anyone here who works with small business websites, have you found that clients generally prefer having everything managed for them, or do yours prefer owning and managing their hosting directly? I’m also currently growing the business and taking on new website builds and redesigns, so if anyone is curious about what I’ve been building, this is InfaWeb: https://www.infawebdesign.com/ submitted by /u/Particular_Truck_258 [link] [comments]
