Comment Comment by joewils Two things I do to slow down malicious bot traffic:1. Setup a blackhole for bad bots. I don't use WordPress, but I stole the idea from this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/2. Setup a Geo-IP allow list using MaxMind's country DB (https://github.com/P3TERX/GeoLite.mmdb). I only allow visitors from countries I do business with. parent joewils 27 days ago
