First question - Since around Christmas, I've had on and off periods where my website will not load. 12/26 was particularly rough. It is usually followed by one of these errors below. Have there been any issues? I didn't see anything on the blog.

Second question - I use Wagtail and occasionally change the urls on my site. I'm seeing two entries (not necessarily always together) in the error logs. One looking for a URL that has been changed and is no longer there and one looking for a robots.txt.

2023-12-31 12:18:23,634: Not Found: /robots.txt
Could the bad URL reference be caused by crawlers? Is that why I'm seeing robots.txt after some of them? Or is there something in the Web App I need to update to ignore old links? I didn't think it would help, but I did reboot the site. I've just added a robots.txt to see if that changes anything.
Also, could a lack of robots.txt be causing the site slowdowns? And if so, why does that prompt the OS write error? Or is that OS error completely unrelated?
Thanks for any help!
