I'm thinking of uninstalling the excellent Plugin and defederating my sites from the . For technical reasons only. CPU goes through the roof when new posts are boosted for the first time, causing 508 errors.

Does anyone else suffer from this problem and have any suggestions to lighten the load?

Maybe I’m overreacting and should just live with the minute or two of daily downtime?

I have Litespeed cache installed.

@AdamStuartSmithAdam S. Smith @smallcirclesjust small circles 🕊 @dinotoyblog @blog@animaltoyforum.comAnimal Toy Blog @blog@monstertoyblog.com I suspect this is a WordPress problem more than an ActivityPub problem. Each request loads the entire WP framework and theme and makes  10–100 database queries, depending on how many plugins you use. I've seen WordPress servers grind to a halt just because they were receiving a huge number of requests for files that do not exist, and WordPress’s 404 page runs the same full code path.

Like others mentioned, caching is probably the fix.
