Our event last night had be over 3k view on SS. We normal get about 1k. So I checked out some other events and they’re the same. One that normally gets 200-300 views also had over 3k.

our site does get hit by search/ai bots at random times, which can inflate the site views/reads data which I guess is what happened here

there was one big spike a few days ago

looking at fridays logs and individual event views and other data and such does seem that there was a massive hit by bots

already have had to make recent changes to some site features due to this problem, as in making some features members only etc

this latest 'hit' by bots does brings into question the 'usefulness' of having event or indeed any other feature reads/views as per the current setup

need to look at this all a lot deeper

Thanks Mike, it’s not a problem and I did suspect the bots.
