@Teri_Kanefield I am sorry for this, this is a known Mastodon issue. Basically, when you post a link, every Mastodon instance receiving your post will try to download the page to generate the link preview, and for popular accounts like yours this might be a few thousand of requests.
We have plans to improve this in the near future, in the meantime having some basic HTTP caching on your blog should help.
