Sounds like the most efficient way to find out where these hits are coming from would be to use the IP addresses in your logs, however this does sound to me like the behavior of a monitoring service, had you perhaps set up monitoring in the past - monitoring nodes could still be hitting your site and contributing to this - and a common characteristic of these sorts of checks is that they won't load analytics code - and hence won't appear in your logs there! Worth a check.
i already check the log there is 250.000 different ip adress they are like a normal visitors watching videos searching content .. i see just one thing is different on log my visitors showing http this visitors showing GET on logs i try to disable wget users with htacess it doesnt work also
Could it be that some bots started uncontrollably accessing your site? What does it say next to the line "Unknown robot (identified by 'bot' followed by a space or one of the following characters _+:,.;/\-)" in your awstats? If your site has been growing you will have all sorts of bots trying to access it consuming your RAM, increasing your CPU usage, etc.
thanks for answer but there 200-250k different ip adress but they do not accept cookies and js .. in awstats they are also real visitors searching and watching i also check duration of visitors they are not bot there is just one thing different with them in log normal visitors showing http this visitors showing GET
no i did not i m using google drive for hosting videos when i check the video stats in my script views is going up when i put openload videos openload doesnt count any views i add header location code nothing happen cant see any visitors on my home page
