Can’t help you there I’m afraid I haven’t used that plug-in before. Sorry.

This was 100% an issue with bots. For some reason since the update, the YITH filter pages attracted thousands of requests per hour from bots the other side of the world, mostly facebook and amazon hostnames. This explained why deleting the plug-in had no effect, as the bots just kept coming anyway.

We fixed our issue by blocking the bots using the wordfence firewall tools. These tools are available on the free version of wordfence too. Just check there are no conflicts with your own set up when implementing wordfence.

Since blocking the bots, server CPU usage dropped from nearly 100% down to 15%.

Excellent support. That fixed our issue.

Same issue. We have deactivated the plug-in and the server is still running high cpu, with phpfpm status showing all the offending processes are YITH urls eg:

request method: GET request URI: /index.php?yith_wcan=1&query_type_colour=or&filter_colour=white%2Cbronze%2Cblack%2Cgrey%2Csilver%2Cgold%2Cgreen%2Cblue

We kill the process and another takes it place.

Slowing the whole server down at the moment, no response from YITH in 48 hours.

I’m afraid that plug-in wasn’t suitable for us. The lookup tables feature has a few limitations that means it will not work for our use-case.

Not sure if anyone knows of any others, they seem to be few and far between.

Our requirement is to have drop down select menus such as:

<select name="width" id="width">
	<option value="4m Width">4m Width</option>
	<option value="5m Width">5m Width</option>
</select><!--/#-->
<select name="height" id="height">
	<option value="4m Height">4m Height</option>
	<option value="5m Height">5m Height</option>
</select><!--/#-->

to fetch figures from a price table such as

Prices    |   4m Width   |   5m Width
-----------------------------------------
4m Height |      ￡100    |     ￡200
-----------------------------------------
5m Height |      ￡200    |     ￡300

The above plug-in almost did that but didn’t allow text strings in the options, and the implementation was a little too complex for customers to manage.

Thank you, we’ll take a look at that now. Appreciate the help!

Thanks for the response. It would be nice to be able to control this as it could open up other possibilities of delivering webp without re-engineering existing html/css to use the picture element.
