Looking for a PHP Expert for a small task

I have a mainstream site that needs a minor fix or tweak
It's more of a nuisance than anything.

Brief description of the nuisance:

Someone clicks on a link, it takes them to the next page. The user has to keep clicking on an action link over and over again until the action is completed. The best way to give you an example of how this action link works is:
Hero faces enemy
- to defeat the enemy, he has to hit the enemy over and over again until enemy is killed or he is killed. So each action link, is an attempted hit on the enemy. So the user is clicking on this link "Attack" over and over again.

The nuisance is that the (server i'm assuming) will not execute the action everytime the user clicks on the action link. It will execute the first attempt without any delay, however, the next time the user clicks on the action link again, it will intentionally delay the action 5 seconds to 10 seconds before it executes it, and then will wait another 5-10 seconds before executing it again. Despite the fact that the user is clicking on the action link over and over again like crazy during this time. The server will refresh the page making it seem like it is executing the action each time the user clicks on the action link but it does NOT execute the action.

I don't know if this is due to the server protecting itself against spam action for this particular action link (However, It doesn't have any issues or delays when other links are clicked in succession quickly, so I don't think it's a spam prevention issue) or if it's due to a delay in call function in retrieving/updating the details from the database (each time the action link is executed, a value is updated in the database).

if anyone knows how to fix this, please email me:
