wp-json continual accessing files and directories, overloading my hosting.

  • I run Prestashop ecommerce software hosted on A2hosting.com. Within that software I also integrate it with WordPress.

    I have random periods of intense processing. So much so it stops me and my customers from gaining access to my website (I think I get 503 error), as A2hosting says I have hit my CPU usage and physical memory and I/O usage and then caps any access.

    In totally taking WordPress offline, the data processing drops almost to zero ??

    In disabling each plugin, it has no effect. So currently wordpress is totally offline.

    In running thru A2hosting ‘visitors’ when WordPress is running I get 1000’s of the following (all with similar paths), with 70.32.16.154 being me, all within a few seconds.

    [ IPs removed ]

    But when I turn off wordpress all of the activity stops.

    Any ideas how to stop the hammering of my data limits. As not sure where the problem lies. Any ideas please.

    Have a look at images below

    Many thanks
