Site slow loading

[Steven]

Countermeasure is back in place now....

Looks like this will be intermittently necessary until I can put a better bot countermeasure in place and/or we move to our new server.

Very slow at the moment, would love to know WHY this is happening.

Disgruntled former user? Probably

A competitors site? Possibly

An errant url hack gone wrong? Unlikely

A member of staff at an F1 team? Unlikely

An F1 team? Highly unlikely

Who knows, but it's pretty persistent and therefore highly motivated. Which I would guess makes disgruntled former user as the most likely.

Running this sort thing costs money. So lots of motivation needed

Do you run a donation page? I've used this site for years and never paid a penny.

Same - do we need to bring in some outside assistance on this? It seems its now happening every week.
