Currently my site has a spike in the number of rss requests.
Is there any way to know exactly where those requests are?
Is it possible to detect which bots requested rss from my site?
Thank.
 
Do you know which domain it is?
Then you could check both /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.log and also /var/log/httpd/access logs and maybe error logs in both.
 
Thank Richard G,
I found that file. As I see the feed is accessed a lot from dataforseo's bot.
 
You're welcome.
Depending on the bot you can either add the bot into a robots.txt file or if it's a really blunt bot, just block their ip's either via the firewall or via a .htaccess file on the website.
 
Thanks to Richard G and everyone.

Like can I ask another question?

My wordpress site uses cloudflare cache mode and has super cache plugin installed.

So those 2 cache modes will help the site run faster? Or should I just use 1 or 2.

Please just me thank you.
 
better to use one cache, it's easier to monitor, than cache already cached, which one faster - check yourself
 
Cloudflare caches only static resources by default. Are you sure that the wordpress cache for typical html is returned as a "static" resource (with last modification date and time of possible expiration)?

If so, and you don't have problems with the site's performance, because very rarely is the content modified, then caching on Cloudflare's side will certainly speed up its loading, because Cloudflare won't be querying your wordpress for a while at all.

When you don't cache the response on the CF side, it may take, for example, 100 ms for your local cache to be returned by your server, and there may be another 100 ms going through Cloudflare, which may give a response time of more than 200 ms. When it is returned cache directly from Cloudflare the total response time can be under 100 ms.
