High bot traffic

We are experiencing unusually high traffic and the reason seems to be ChatGPT trying to scrape the YiffyToys shop with all it’s filtering functionalities for multiple days now.

This also causes the cache of rendered pages to regularly overflow it’s quote and be automatically flushed.

We are investigating options for rate-limiting bot traffic.

Update

Most of the traffic (over 40Gb in a day) was caused be ChatGPT training it’s „AI“.
In total 2/3 of all web traffic came from bots.
We have blocked all the „AI“ training crawlers we could find and some „SEO optimisation“ bots that serve no purpose other then to waste bandwidth.
We have also rate-limited search engine crawlers.

The legitimate crawlers now get 4 sitemaps that are generated every day.
They list the last modification date of all listed pages, so crawlers don’t need to revisit them.
They prevent bots from getting lost in dynamic navigation.
(e.g. the extensive filtering options we offer, so you find the toys you want in our vast offering)
The sitemaps also only include the primary image of each product.

Delivery by Exotic Erotics on it’s way

You know the drill…
A new delivery of Dildos by Exotic Erotics (English / German) is on it’s way.

We expect it to arrive in 9-16 business days (including customs).

Then we just have to count, label and sort it for the new stock to be available in our shop (English Shop / German Shop).
When that happens, we’ll report here again.
If you want to track this delivery, you can do so here.
In case you are eagerly awaiting some toy to be in stock again.

Custom Dildos:
For a few days now, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmness. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully paid right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.

There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)

Paypal issues?

We seem to be getting some strange error messages from Paypal.
German and UK customers are fine. Only US customers seem to be affected.

Please use a Credit Card or bank transactions (with the new QR code to avoid typing)
if Paypal doesn’t work for you.

A delivery by Exotic Erotics just arrived, prices improved

The delivery, that we told you was on it’s way, has arrived.
We could reduce a number of prices.
Due to the uncertain times, we have entered larger reductions as a temporary sale price until the political situation improves.

Stock status

All but 1 of the 142 Exotic Erotics models, are now in stock.

Custom toys

We do offer custom toys to be included in the next order.
Please contact us early and we’ll create a custom product for you to order as soon as the next shipment leaves the factory and we place our own restock order.
