I was recommended to share this article I wrote a few days ago on here, too; so here we are!

The TL;DR is “link embed fetching communes” as a partial “fix” to the issue (pretty buzzwordy, sorry for that)

    How is this not a caching issue on the linked server? Serving the same info up over and over from memory should be incredibly fast.

    Are their pages dynamic and filled with ads and stuff or something that makes this a problem?

      If you’ve skimmed over the original publication, it is actually worse: it is a non problem. Other users have pointed out already: ~100MB served over 5 minutes period is quite literally nothing for even one small VPS serving the content independently, let alone a site with CloudFlare in front like they claim to have.
