Hi all,
@evici , if you’ve enabled the Recommend Similar Articles plugin, that (along with aggressive search indexing) could be the cause. See e.g. this thread:
Hi @liviagouvea ,
If you’ve enabled the Recommend Similar Articles plugin, that’s known to come with heavy indexing load; see:
https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/9897
If you’re using that plugin, I’d recommend disabling it to see if that helps. Otherwise, reviewing your access logs to see what kind of bot behaviour you’re encountering is probably a good idea; you can use a mixture of robots.txt (for well-behaved bots) and IP-based blocking (for less well-behaved ones) to tune your exposure. …
The slowdown with casting and issue IDs has been resolved with a proper foreign key column starting with OJS 3.5.
Thanks,
