    I've been getting a lot of (spam) emails from seemingly "experts" who claim my site is not top-ranking and not performing. most of the emails come from @gmail domain - hence my suspicion these are just basement programmer wannabies who have suddenly discovered using AI to build a website. totally annoying.

    Time for a more strict firewall or DNSBL's in your email server.
