    Hi All,

    I’ve been looking over my site and I’ve seen a certain page receive loads of hits. A couple of thousand. I’ve been trying to track it down to see how it is happening and so far the only trace I have is the IP address.

    I decided to prevent site access from this IP for the time being via .htaccess.

    I have slimstat running and the URL it advises of being hit is:
    /ace-of-spades/assets/plugins/directresize/libs/highslide/assets/templates/Andreas02/assets/templates/Andreas02/assets/plugins/directresize/libs/highslide/assets/plugins/directresize/lang/assets/plugins/directresize/libs/highslide/assets/plugins/directres

    I know the URL doesn’t end but I have seen in the stats that emo.js is also referred to.

    I have the following plugins running on my site:

    Email Obfuscation
    DirectResize
    PageHitCount
    Error404Logger

    What could be causing the continuous hits? Is there a better way of stopping re-occurrences?

    Thanks all.

      I think you’re right on the endless loop.

      I can happily remove the 404 logger as I have Google Webmaster overseeing that side of things and AWStats from the host is rather good too.

      Thanks for your input. I’ll check into mod_evasive to see if the host has it implemented or available.
