Surge in legitimate traffic causes site down same time daily
Our website routinely jumps from around 200 visitors to 11000 and crashes daily around 11 AM PST. It usually takes aboug 18 minutes to get right. It doesn't crash everywhere. Only some locations but not others, often those locations are the same, but not always. I'm using Plesk.
We have a business-level account. We are using Plesk on Ionos as our home server. We disabled proxy on A records for testing to no avail. Then "paused" Cloudflare, and that also didn't solve the issue. I'm at a loss where to go next.
I am a self-taught web developer and I don't know what I don't know.
Help! -- I've been struggling to figure this out for 3 months
Also, please let me know if this isn't the right forum. Thank you!
