Just put the site behind a cache, like Cloudflare, and set your cache control headers properly?
They mention that they are already using Cloudflare. I'm confused about what is actually causing the load. They don't mention any technical details, but it does kinda sound like their cache control headers are not set properly. I'm too lazy to check for myself though...
This should be front and center, caching won’t be able to make up for that…
Of course it will, cloudflare is in front of it, they can definitely handje this traffic as long as itsfoss bothers to set correct caching headers for cloudflare to use. That's the entire point of cloudflare...
