Hello people,

Is there any way to reduce unnecessary requests to wp-admin / admin-ajax.php.

In five minutes we had 11k requests this file, and it killed the server.

Can anyone help?

Something you may wish to Google?

You can also disallow access to that folder with robots.txt to keep ‘bots from pinging it.

View your server/site logs to see where all the hits are coming from if external, and block an offending IP with CSF/firewall.

Avoid using ajax on pages with ‘penis’ in the title?
