# High resource usage

 * We have a problem with the high resource usage on the site. Fastcomet’s support
   responded as follows:
 * “I reviewed your account and, in particular, Awstats for circeplatform.com and
   noticed that a lot of hits with an HTTP status code of 508 are present as shown
   here:
 * > [https://i.imgur.com/eGSuJnx.png](https://i.imgur.com/eGSuJnx.png)
 * It seems these loop requests are caused by the 146.255.245.10 IP address, which
   is triggering the Wordfence firewall plugin you are using on the website. Here
   is an example:
 * 146.255.245.10 – – [23/May/2025:06:59:03 +0200] “GET /?wordfence_lh=1&hid=81B514F6F1C9D2CE9C16A3F90ADAC9E7&
   r=0.5732152102916475 HTTP/1.1” 508 5609 “[https://circeplatform.com/ka/%E1%83%A8%E1%83%A0%E1%83%9D%E1%83%A8%E1%83%90%E1%83%9C%E1%83%98/](https://circeplatform.com/ka/%E1%83%A8%E1%83%A0%E1%83%9D%E1%83%A8%E1%83%90%E1%83%9C%E1%83%98/)”“
   Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/
   136.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36”
 * The “HTTP/1.1″ 508″ part of the request confirms this is, in fact, an HTTP 1.1
   protocol status code 508. With that in mind, I would advise you to review the
   Wordfence plugin and check if it is blocking this specific IP or if there is 
   any other information in the dashboard. If you are using this IP, I would recommend
   whitelisting it in Wordfence.”
 * **Do you have any recommendations on how to solve this problem?**
 * Thanks.

 * Actually, this IP is from my country, but this is not my IP and I am only administrator
   for this site.

 * Hi [@merkucio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/merkucio/),
 * If your host is in your country also (which that IP resolves to), they may be
   requesting that this IP is allowlisted in Wordfence because the 508 loop is happening
   on a load balancer, proxy, or server owned by them. That may cause the kind of
   problems you’re describing. In cases such as that, it may be necessary to change“**
   How does Wordfence get IPs**” or specify a trusted proxy in **Wordfence > All
   Options** (scroll down slightly from this link): [https://www.wordfence.com/help/dashboard/options/#general-wordfence-options](https://www.wordfence.com/help/dashboard/options/#general-wordfence-options)
 * It is generally not recommended to add an IP to **Wordfence > All Options > Allowlisted
   IP addresses that bypass all rules** unless absolutely necessary – but some customers
   _have_ had to implement this for an IP on their host so could be the case for
   you too: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/options/#whitelisted-ips](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/options/#whitelisted-ips)
 * Let us know if you run into any problems,
   Peter.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for your reply. My hosting is Fastcomet.com. And their advice was to add
   this IP 146.255.245.10 in the blacklist. And I did that.
 * So, what can you advice in this case?

 * By the way, could this be Cloudflare’s IP address since I’m using their free 
   service and they recently launched their server in my country?
 * And what to do with this IP in this case?
 * Right now your plugin shows my IP in the option **How does Wordfence get IPs**.
