Wordpress Plugin 7.0.3 results in traffic spike from HubSpot

I updated my HubSpot wordpress plugin yesterday to 7.0.3. Changelog said only logos were updated. Since then I’ve seen a substantial spike in traffic on my site:

Google Analytics says the service provider is HubSpot:

I think this is a bug. Incidentally, backend performance on my site is really slow now. Please advise.

Welcome, @jonathanwinn.

Happy to help here. If this is an issue on our end, I’m unfortunately not finding any other reports in our various channels.

Can you share another screenshot of what your traffic is looking like today so I have another data point?

Back to normal, looks like.

Hey, @jonathanwinn.

Strange. Is your backend performance back to normal now, too?

I don’t have an explanation for that phenomenon at the moment, but if it happens again, please let me know!

It’s still pretty slow on the backend, and I’ve updated a lot of plugins recently, so I’m not sure coincidence = causation. I’ll let you know of any future spikes.
