Please keep reporting problems by emailing Library IT. We continue to try to fix this problem.
We found that we were running out of memory and this has been significantly increased. Hopefully the catalogue is now running faster. The reason we ran out of memory is because we were hit with a googlebot swarm. At one stage we had 2700 googlebots hitting our site at the same time. It seems that Google has learned how to try to index sites like HIP. We now have a robots.txt in place, and these connections have dropped down to 90.
We can see from the logs that are still some problems which we will continue to work on. We are not sure if this is affecting actual borrowers.
What is a googlebot?
