Bots crawling the page with yith filter

  • Hello, following the past post “Since last 2 update your plugin causing extremely high cpu and ram usage”, we are having problems with the plugin, its generating a lot of visits by bots per minute, all of them accesing to pages with the yith filter. We are using wordfence to block bots and ip ranges but its not working.

    This is not only causing a high cpu usage in our server, but also its creating in the database transient data, that is temporary, but with this thousands of entries, we get like 5000 inserts per day, and if we dont delete them manually, the database can get thousands of inserts…

    Is there a way to fix this without uninstalling the plugin? We’ve rollback to a previous version (4.29), but it still gives the problem.

    Hi,

    Our plugin has a SEO panel, where you can set different options to prevent bot crawling. I suggest to use the the noindex, nofollow options for the pages and filters.

    Let us know if this helps you with this problem ( keep in mind that results will take some time to show, while the bots to make their next attempt ).

    I went to this tab in the plugin’s settings and the drop down for the meta display’s set to none. Do the developers not want us to use this feature? this doesn’t really make sense.
