It’s impossible, i got this instance to just see lemmy from my own instance, but no, it was slow as hell the whole week, i got new pods, put postgres on a different pod, pictrs on another, etc.
But it was slow as hell. I didn’t know what it was until a few hours before now. 500 GETs in a MINUTE by ClaudeBot and GPTBot, wth is this? why? I blocked the user agents, etc, using a blocking extension on NGINX and now it works.
WHY? So google can say that you should eat glass?
Life is now hell, if before at least someone could upload a website, now even that is painfull.
Sorry for the rant.
They are 1 cpu and 1 gb of ram pods, postgres goes to 100% cpu on 500 requests per minute, after i put the NGINX extension, it reduced to at max 10%. On weaker servers, these bots make hell on earth, not the config.

Oh, cool. I’m going to look at it!
If that doesn’t work for you, also look at varnish and squid.
Load should be near zero for reads.
