I feel this question is better suited for [webmasters.se]. There is even a [tag](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/tags/hotlinking) specifically for this subject. It's quite likely that this is a duplicate of a question which was already asked there. — kasperd, Sep 25 '18 at 11:44

It appears that ListingHub is "hotlinking" your script. You can prevent this by modifying the .htaccess file. The following will allow only your domain to access resources.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://(www\.)thecodedeveloper.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|zip|rar|mp3|flv|swf|js|xml|php|png|css|pdf)$ - [F]

They are using your bandwidth by calling the script from your server so yes, it could negatively affect the performance of your site.

Not quite sure what you mean by "is that effect Google search engine" in relation to your question. – George Sep 25 '18 at 10:56
