Admins will now see a link at the top of the page, near the link to user profile page, "Filter bots".
When you click on it, it enables for 2h the blocking of various bots on the site (if it was already enabled, it tells you, so you know that the issue is not due to bots...)
I hope it will help when the site is loaded.
It seemed to help for now, but there are so many different bots on the site today, that it is slow even before the usual peak hour. Maybe today was special bot day or something?
For sure that won't solve everything but it should already help a little, until I can improve the database structure.
Don't click it all the time
As sometimes it is useful to have bots indexing the site.
But if the site stays slow for a few minutes while you are busy, at a point it is not useable (like Baube said in the above comment), then you can click on it and it may help the server breathing a little.
