[NSFW] Self-referring requests?

    Hello,

    My hosting provider temporarily took my site offline because they said my site consumed more than 160,000 CPU seconds in the last 24 hours.

    There were only two changes made during this time. 1. I installed and started using this plugin. 2. I temporarily disabled their caching system.

    They said it should not be from the caching issue.

    Is this something that this plugin could cause?

    “The IP address that accessed your website the most is your accounts one “xx.xxx.xx.xxx”. That indicates that your website is spawns a lot of self-referring requests. That can occur due to a malfunctioning script, plugin or function.”

    I have never heard of this happening before.

    You should be able to see (or get from your host) a copy of the log telling you what script is causing this.

    If you can show it is being caused by SpeakOut! I will investigate, but I will need more information than you have provided.

    I don’t know how this got marked NSFW. lol They swore it wasn’t the caching issue, but it 100% was! I got the logs from them. But thank you for responding and so quickly! They sent me into panic mode. Took me down without warning, etc., So I had to investigate. Anyways, not for you to worry about. Thanks!!

    Thanks for the update. You are going to ask them for compensation, right? ;o)
