DDOS slow post attack on site

You might want to check out Cloudflare for something like this. DDOS has to be handled at a level way above WordPress.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion Steve, but is there any file (script) or plugin level change which we can do for time being to prevent the attack

Are they all coming from the same IP or range of IPs? You could block them with iptables.

Yes for time being we have block the IP and report to the ISP as a spam, But i am insecure about such attack in future with other IPs

You can’t block a DDOS from WordPress. You can use plugins like WordFence to block individual accesses/posts, but if you’re getting a denial of service attack then you need to go above WP to the OS or to the network.

Hi Steve, We already tried WordFenc on our staging server but doesn’t find it helpful during trial DDOS attack

Right. You have to deal with this ABOVE THE APPLICATION LAYER! This is not a WordPress problem.
