My website is generating disturbing amounts of POST Ajax calls (41k times a day)

Hi Team,

My website is a high traffic site that gets around 200k to 250k pageviews per day. Recently we experienced serious loads and website crashing even though we have top-end dedicated server allotted for it. We investigated and found many reasons why this might be happening, we are fixing them one by one, and we found this -> While reviewing the top requests on our website, I noticed that our theme generates an extremely high number of admin-ajax requests which, on a website with the amount of traffic you receive, could be bogging down the server. In approximately 24 hours the following request was made over 41k times.

POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=7.5

Is there a resolution to this?

Thanks,
Ahtesham.

Hello !

Make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv Composer, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

Are you using Autoptimize plugin ?

Thank you !

We have tried all the things that you’ve mentioned above. The site is too big..we have more than 15000 pages on it, and it caters to 300k page views per day. It crashed yesterday, and the server-side person told us to talk and optimize the site with theme creators hence I am here. How can we resolve this? This is really important for me because the site is completely down now.
