May be an aggressive crawler or DDOS attack, can do that. Look at your apache log, number of requests per second.

I am considering, after a couple days observing, that's something connected to Meta.... in the logs I see lots of this IP and a few variants 57.141.5.X (from 1-40)

57.141.5.1 - - [08/Feb/2025:06:45:29 +0100] "GET /path to products HTTP/1.0" 200 156148 "-" "meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler)"

I don't know how to check on plesk or ssh the requests per second...Then in the stats I see this:

Hits in january - started from 31/01

Hits in Feb

What's the best way to stop these IP to access the server? Or to control if possible... limit or something?

Thanks in advance!
