After looking carefully at the image you linked to, the first 405 seems to show your web server is configured to disallow HEAD requests (and probably others). The failed HEAD requests by "bot" User-Agents (along with what looks like some bots using forged User-Agents) is interesting since a HEAD request, if successful, does not actually load the page data and should not count in your page load stats. In other words, the bug is in the counting of pages loaded.
The tough questions is, why are you getting hammered by bots?
- zeratul 15y agoI'm not sure. It seems that the route is: HN -> Twitter -> A swarm of bots sitting on Twitter When I re-posted my app on Sunday to get extra stats I saw the same thing. The Terminator Judgment Day happened but just on Twitter.
