On the very high "guest" count numbers, after seeing the numbers jump up to over 1200 a little while ago, I took some screen shots to highlight repetitive IPs and their sources.
As seen in the time stamped screen shots below, at one point there were 506 "guests" originating from IPs 47.79.xxx.xxx, all listed as coming from Alibaba Cloud LLC (a known Chinese company) out of Singapore. Of those at one point there were 34 different IPs beginning with "47.79." reading the very same thread.
The next screenshot shows a second search highlighting 408 "guests" originating from IPs 146.174.xxx.xxx, all listed as coming from Huawei International Pte. (also a Chinese company) out of Singapore too.
Between the two "Datacenter" ISPs, they accounted for 914 "guests" of the 1200 or so "guests" on our site. Just IMHO, but I don't think these are valid "guests". More like unwelcome pests that I'd like to see go away.
Edit for added info: A random "what's my IP" check of over 20 of the Alibaba IPs all showed them to be "blacklisted" for spam activity.
