Could this be something to do with it?

90% of these “guests” are surely bots/crawlers.

Much better than it was as it's worst, but there has still been the odd problem here and there.

Less frequent but occasional. Wondered if it was the App? Tends to happen more after I use the app

I made a change to my robots.txt file. May do some more tweaking. The app isn’t an app as such. Still uses the default browser

Can you tell [redacted] to stop DM’ing me, because as lovely as those photos are, I still can’t appoint them to Guernsey? Thanks!

I got blocked twice yesterday, but definitely better than it was a few weeks ago.

Had a lengthy one yesterday. But outside of that it seems to have improved.

I work in IT, when I break things it is due to me not concentrating or clumsiness. I wouldn’t even know how to break it maliciously

Bringing this back up. Not sure if it is only me or everyone else experiencing the same. The site is getting very slow and I am frequently getting error message from the site or the browser.

Not seen that 1 for a long time. I will be sorting out the server move in the next week or so. Should see some improvement
