Since Monday I've been getting 100-200 bot hits *per hour* on one of my personal sites. Last week was nearly 3k. No idea what the cause is.

Basically just standing up Cloudflare in front of the site is the only reason it isn't totally down. So that's good. But what is going on?

Maybe one of my Facebook experiments are routing bot traffic? Hmmm.... one page has no views, 5 likes, 9 followers and >100 reach. Weird.

The crazy thing is that I have never shared or promoted this page. Barely configured. It doesn't even have an
@
Username. -
Oh boy, 500 error. Guess it is time to turn on Under Attack mode on Cloudflare.

Hurm, switching to HTTPS and IP blocking some German and French bots has significantly improved things.
