robots / web harvesters eating up my Internet traffic volume

My 2 top volume killers:

… wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron …

$HOME/var/web.log

That is functionality of my own WordPress site(s) – rather suprising, that my own software “kills” me. It is actually my “top volume killer”. The problem gets described here:

… wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/assets/fonts/inter/Inter-upright-var.woff2 …

$HOME/web.log

That’s a font file, that gets downloaded excessively from my WordPress site(s). The problem gets described here:

I zeroed the font file in question – after backing up the original. (In fact I accidentally zeroed the other font file w/o backing it up.)

I can reverse the effect of zeroing that font file

• by de-activating the WordPress theme in question,
• removing, re-installing, and re-activating that theme.
