Hello everyone,
We have a Joomla 4 site that uses JEvents. The site includes around 20 categories and approximately 1,000 events. It’s a fairly large site, and I've noticed significant performance issues from time to time. When I check the access logs, I see that most of the URLs are related to JEvents.
After analyzing the current daily log, which had 54,000 records, I found that >35,000 of them were JEvents-related. There’s almost a hit every second. I also checked the sources, which came from multiple IP addresses, but according to ipinfo.io, most of them originate from eSited Solutions, an American data center.
I had a similar issue before with a Joomla eCommerce component that generated unnecessary URLs, leading to excessive crawler activity (for example, 20 category pages generating thousands of paginated pages with different orderings and filters).
Has anyone else faced a similar issue? Why is this happening with JEvents specifically? Could it be generating too many URLs for bots? But how are there over 35,000 URLs per day for just 1,000 events?
Any thoughts?
