Blocking Countries

Since AI crawlers have been overwhelming my site lately, and blocking individual user agents isn't enough, I've unfortunately had to resort to blocking countries. My hosting provider provided a simple guide for this.

I actually wanted to avoid this, but during peak traffic times, while my site loads quickly thanks to caching, the Kirby panel becomes almost unusable and incredibly slow. This primarily affects requests from Singapore, which I now unfortunately have to reject.
