    Site is running super slow. Have an email out to our provider to look into it.

    Seems to be a bit better today. Provider has not really given any good answers. Pretty sure I’m just talking with an AI bot 🙁

    Upgraded underlying PHP version to latest… seeing if that helps. Provider was going to do it automatically in a few days anyhow. Figured I’d do it in a controlled manner instead.

    So it’s highly likely that all the crawler bots and AI information-gathering is what’s slowing our site down. At least according to our provider.

    They suggest a 3rd-party “front end” (cloudflare) to put in front of our site to alleviate the problem. It’s somewhat a tricky change and will likely take the site down for a few hours while things change over. I’m going to do a bit more research in hopes of making the change soon, maybe even this weekend.

    More details to come…

    (fortunately it looks like we qualify for a “free” plan at Cloudflare)
