Fix the problem with the phpbb forum - too many requests, exceeded the load on the hosting.
45 USD Good day, the hosting is shutting down the site due to overload. It seems that the issue is with the phpbb forum. The forum is not very popular, and the built-in search has been disabled for a long time (replaced with Google search).
It is necessary to figure out why such an overload occurs on the hosting and fix this problem.
I need a person who has experience with such forums. I am interested in the cost of your services.

Доброго дня, хостінг вимикає сайт, через перевищення навантаження. Судячи зі всього - справа у форумі на phpbb. Форум не сильно популярний, вбудований пошук вимкнений вже давно (замінений на гугл пошук).
Потрібно розібратися чому виникає таке навантеження на хостінг і виправити цю проблему.

Good day.
I have experience with PHP/MySQL projects and forums on phpBB, including situations where hosting shuts down the site due to load spikes. From your screenshot, it is already evident that the problem is likely not in the "popularity" of the forum as such, but in specific heavy database queries, overloaded tables, bot traffic, unsuccessful mods/plugins, or background processes of phpBB.
What I can do:
— conduct a technical diagnosis of the forum and database;
— identify what exactly is causing the load: queries, tables, bots, cron, extensions, styles, third-party integrations;
— check indexes, slow SQL queries, error logs, bot activity;
— optimize phpBB and MySQL for your case;
… — if possible, eliminate the cause without upgrading to a more expensive plan;
— provide a clear report: what was the problem, what has been fixed, what else should be improved.
I usually work on such tasks in 2 stages:
Audit and cause identification.
Correction and optimization.
Regarding costs:
— diagnosis: from 1000 to 1500 UAH
— diagnosis + correction: usually within 2000–3000 UAH, depending on the actual cause
Regarding timelines:
— initial diagnosis: 1 day
— complete correction: 1–3 days

We can help with this issue. We have extensive experience working with PHP projects and often solve problems related to exceeding hosting load.
Such situations most often arise due to bots, incorrect requests, caching issues, indexing, or inefficient database queries. We will analyze the server logs, database load, forum requests, and find the cause of resource overuse.
Recently, we closed a very similar case where bots were creating excessive load on the hosting - after analysis and optimization, the problem was completely resolved.
After diagnostics, we will be able to:
- find the source of the load
- optimize the forum's performance
… - set limits for bots or incorrect requests
- provide recommendations to prevent the problem from recurring.

Good day!
I have studied your situation. The problem with the load on MySQL is clear — most likely the phpBB sessions table has bloated due to unrecognized bots and/or a non-functioning internal cron. 121 million row scans confirm this.
What the work includes:
— Database diagnostics (sessions table, search index)
— Cleaning and optimizing tables
— Checking and configuring phpBB cron
— Updating the list of bots
… — Checking the footer template (RUN_CRON_TASK)

Good day
My name is Dmitry, from King Kong Lab.
We can help you understand the issue of load on the hosting. We will conduct a technical audit of the phpBB forum: we will check the server logs, database queries, possible bot attacks, cron jobs, and other processes that may create excessive load.
After the analysis, we will determine the exact cause (for example, problematic SQL queries, bot indexing, plugin errors, or server configuration) and propose solutions: database optimization, caching configuration, bot restrictions, optimization of PHP/MySQL configuration, or phpBB itself.
We have experience working with PHP websites and forums, so we can quickly find the source of the problem and stabilize the website's operation.
Regarding the cost — it depends on the cause of the load, but usually, the audit and fixing such issues take a few hours of work. We are ready to review the logs and hosting details and then provide an exact price.

Good day!
I can help you understand the issue with the load on the hosting. First, we need to check the server logs and the forum's operation to understand what exactly is creating the increased load (database queries, bots, errors in the forum or plugins).
After the analysis, we will be able to determine the cause and suggest solutions: optimizing queries, limiting bots, configuring caching, or other technical changes.
Can you provide access to the hosting and the admin panel of the forum, as well as messages from the hosting regarding the overload? This will help to find the cause more quickly.
Is the forum running on phpBB or are there any additional modules or integrations?
