Is there an issue with the site hosting ?

Last 3 morning from about 1000-1100 the site has become unworkable - connections time out at the server. I’ve confirmed it’s the server not accepting connections

Just noting to administrator attention please - feels like either there is a process running in the middle of the day that shouldn’t (disk backup etc )
Or there’s an automated site sweep happening that chews all resources (it shouldn’t be able to do so, and the hosting servers should access more cloud resources).

As to performance otherwise - generally ok although it does get slow in peak times, but acceptable.

Not sure if it's related or not, but around the time the site has been harder to access, it's been showing an extraordinary number of views in the Where-am-I game - over 3,600 views in 2 days, when it would be less than a tenth of that normally.
