Justin, I think Michael Kuhn's and Fridolin Somers' suggestions to analyze the web traffic are your best next step. Do you also: - have a *robots.txt* file, and/or - have the recent *antibot* feature (see Bug 39906 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39906>) activated? If you don't have much experience reading and interpreting web logs, you may find that something like GoAccess <https://goaccess.io/> can help you get a quick summary.

Indeed, word-wild AI bots are scrapping Koha OPACs. The main performance issue if opac-search.pl.
You may look at apache acces logs to check some IP geolocalisation. IF they come from several countries and use odd user-agents (we found some IE6 and Windows 98) it might be AI bots.
Best regards.
