Why is there a sudden surge in Singapore sessions on my site?

Why the sudden surge in sessions from Singapore?
Is this an attack or something?
Can Shopify block that?
Is it affecting my site?

Don't worry about it. Those spikes will not create any issues with your website. Shopify infrastructure is solid. By the way, it is certainly annoying to see those numbers in your stats that are probably caused by some bots. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to filter it from Shopify reports and hopefully it was just a transitory problem.

Here we are two days later and I'm still getting 10's of thousands of "sessions" per day from Singapore. On the 12th of May it peaked at 64K "sessions" in one day.

Can you assure me that it is not affecting my site?

I would appreciate a more technical answer.

What is the point of opening thousands of sessions if you're not trying to cause problems?

How do I get a log of the sessions so I can analyze the traffic?

Do they all originate from a certain IP? How long are the sessions? What pages are they pulling?

While it may not worry you, it worries me because this is my sole source of income.

Did you ever get an answer? Did traffic stop?

[RockItCool]

Never got an answer, never got an explanation of what's going on.

Yes, the sessions stopped a week or so later.

They don't care.
