I run a website with 10k unique pages. If I leave the gates open, Meta hits it 200.000 times per day. Every day. What are you paying developers $500k for Mark?

200k req/day = 2.3 req/s

That's bad for static content.

Try adding search, with pagination and 16 filters that can toggled on off. And 1000 tags, give each page 5.

I've simply blocked whole ASNs for Meta, Google, AWS, etc.
