Site slowness and upgrading (midwest.social)

I have gotten a few complaints about the site being slow with ~30s load times. I did double the CPU to 4 cores the other month but I just tried upgrading again to dedicated CPU instead of shared CPU. Maybe that will help. Let me know.

Thanks,

Whatever you did is working. I have no more issues.

What is driving the increased demand for resources?

I'm not sure what's driving it. There haven't been any lemmy upgrades since June. Maybe more users? Although I don't know if I've really been getting THAT many applications lately.

In a thread somewhere a few weeks ago, someone was saying ai crawlers have arrived, and are using a lot of resources.
