My Magento store sits on a Hostinger VPS and heavy bot activity is driving CPU usage through the roof. I can’t simply block these crawlers because they are essential for our SEO, yet the spikes are severe enough to stall the entire site. Here is the current state: • I have already tuned the database, enabled aggressive cache management and even scaled the server resources upward; each helped for a short time but the CPU still saturates whenever the crawl rate peaks. • Page-level caching, Magento indexing schedules and standard Cloudflare proxying are in place, so I need deeper server-side work rather than basic tweaks. • Reducing CPU usage is my absolute priority; faster load times and 24/7 availability will follow once the processor load is under control. What I’m looking for is an experienced server specialist who can investigate, design and implement a sustainable fix—whether that involves advanced rate-limiting, fine-grained bot throttling, Varnish/Nginx tuning, improved PHP-FPM pools, or any other method that keeps legitimate crawlers happy while protecting the server. Deliverables (acceptance criteria): 1. A fully implemented solution that brings CPU usage to an acceptable average under the usual crawl pressures. 2. Clear before-and-after metrics (CPU %, load average, response time). 3. A short technical handover explaining the changes so I can maintain them. If you have demonstrable experience solving this exact type of Magento-plus-bot problem, I’m ready to start immediately.
