: Reduce amount of site script executions I use SiteGround as a hosting service and I received a notice that we are reaching our monthly executions. We also use Wordpress as a CMS. Our site

@Becky754

The host your using apparently has a limit on number of script executions you can do which is interesting to say the least; not the kind of host I would go with personally but personal opinions aside.

AWStats is telling you the captcha image for your contact form is being trigger/viewed A LOT compared to other pages/scripts on your site. You'll want to investigate why that is; possibly clicking the link on that page in your image will show you more details about the traffic to that page.

I'd suspect that it's bots and spammers that are mainly hitting the contact form causing the high number of views.

As for how to fix it, well you'd need to find a way to view detailed stats on that page about the traffic and people hitting it, mainly trying to get there user agent information which then you can use to block/prevent that page/or script from loading based on user agent matching. Another option is depending where the captcha/contact form is on your page, if it's/or if you can put it below the fold on your page you can use lazy loading on it so it wont show/process as an execution unless the user scrolls down the page and it comes into view, else it'll load/execute as soon as anyone hits your page.
