Hello Mick, my personal impression: at the moment, bots are indeed running amok.
AFAIK: UptimeRobot is an uptime monitoring service from the USA. They offer monitoring for websites, cronjobs and SSL.
I didn't understand why it suddenly appeared in my access logs. I don't use this type of monitoring separately, nor have I booked anything like this in the USA. I have also entered the bot in the .htaccess (see my quoted post above).
I have "banned" this bot via a test entry. Whether it helps is questionable. So far it hasn't come round again ....
Yes, try it out and report back.
Thanks and best regards
