My website frontend and backend is loading really slow, can take more than 1 minute to load.. I’m using vps and never came across this kind of a problem with wordpress.
I contacted my hosting team and I got the following answer:
There is high load on the server. We ca nsee a lot of requests like that in log:
1.14.17.83 – – [20/Sep/2021:12:44:06 +0300] “POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0” 200 771 “-” “Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_161)”
1.14.17.83 – – [20/Sep/2021:12:44:07 +0300] “POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0” 200 771 “-” “Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_161)”
1.14.17.83 – – [20/Sep/2021:12:44:08 +0300] “POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0” 200 771 “-” “Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_161)”
Please, check it. If they are not known for you, we can block such requests.
Can you please clarify and assist with this behavior?
