Is there a known issue (and fix) for Web Wiz causing IIS and/or SQL to slow down after a few days? My developer has had to reset IIS every 3-4 days, as the site gets super slow. After resetting, everything goes back to normal. Any ideas or suggestions on what to look for would be great. Thanks!

We have not encountered this issue before, but it is advisable to set your website's application pool to recycle once a day to ensure smooth operation.

Recently, we have observed that forums are being heavily targeted by AI scraping bots, which can request 30 to 40 pages per second. This can lead to significant speed issues for forums. It is often a good idea to implement a Web Application Firewall to block these AI scraping bots.
