For your information
Over the last couple of months, I had noticed a substantial increase in the number of “page hits” on my blog as well as a dramatic increase in the number of comments that WordPress was labeling as SPAM. I was seeing these posts but they were not published.
I had also noticed that my blog was – all of a sudden – pages were loading slowly.
In looking at the “data” on my blog … I noticed that ABOUT 66% + of all page hits were coming from CHINA.
All this “non-sense blog traffic” was tying up the resources of my blog at my ISP, and unnecessarily slowing down how my blog functioned.
I have added a “AI AGENT” to my blog that will look at who/what is trying to reach my blog that is on a “do not allow list” for my blog, and will not allow that “bad traffic” to even reach my ISP.
Either this AI AGENT will cause one of two things to happen – my blog’s ability to more quickly display content will happen – OR – things WILL GO OFF THE RAILS and I will have to find a PLAN B to deal with all these SPAM BOTS that has been “hogging the capacity of my blog”
If anyone experiences any perceived problems with the response time from my blog please send me a email steve@steveariens.com

Why would there be so much traffic from China?
