Forum Archive - Some bad URLs and high load on website - bad config?

Dear friends, I have pro version. it works perfect except some problems: 1. Very big load on my website. Most load comes from ip 51.255.65.216 - which i think is connected with trasnlatig engine (blocking of this ip disables translation). 2. I have found in my logs lots of improper web adresses like http://es.ja.iw.ja.baker-group.net/- can this be fixed somehow? I use joomla and this is my htaccess file: ## # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2015 Open Source Matters.

Hi, Please find my response below: 1. When someone accesses your translated pages, we access your original page to translate it. You can reduce the number of languages if your server cannot handle the load. 2. I have no idea about your logs. Can you provide more info? Where can I see the mentioned improper URLs? If you are using sub-domain URL structure, there is no need to add our rewrite rules into your .htaccess file. Please remove them. Thanks!

Dear Edvard, I don't use subdomain Url structure. My main website is located at https://baker-group.net All types of web adresses could be used, for example you could try: 1. http://baker-group.net 2. http://en.baker-group.net 3. http://pt.en.baker-group.net 4. http://fr.pt.en.baker-group.net 5. http://ko.fr.pt.en.baker-group.net ... etc I can't guess how were these adressses generated but all them were accesable. Maybe this caused extra load on my web-site? Today i have moved to ssl (https) and it seems that everything is fine now. Tomorrow i will check my load on the server.

ko.fr.pt.en.baker-group.net cannot be accessible, since it doesn't point to any IP address. It might be a result of incorrect redirects in your .htaccess, but it cannot cause any load on your server. Thanks!
