Government of Tonga’s first mobile app nears completion

Troubleshooting - Copy and paste errors into the AI to provide an explanation of potential causes and fixes. Research - When you want to find out more a...

TL;DR: A climate change portal faced performance issues due to excessive bot crawling. After trying various solutions, including updating core and modules, scaling up the server, and exploring different security modules, the problem was solved using Drupal's built-in Ban module to block problematic IP addresses. The Autoban module was then implemented to automate the process, effectively improving the site's performance and resilience against bots.      🌐 Introduction In today's digital landscape, websites face numerous challenges, and one of the most persistent is the threat of bots. These automated programs can wreak havoc on your site's performance, especially when they crawl your pages excessively. Recently, we encountered this issue with one of our country climate change portals built on Drupal 7. Here's how we tackled the problem and restored the site's performance. 🔍 The Investigation Begins When we noticed performance issues on our climate change p...
