    Hello,
    I am getting thousands of hits from BOTs to a specific post and I don’t know how to stop it.
    Can you help?

  • Hello @satrez

    You can adjust “If a crawler’s page views exceed” value in the Rate Limiting Settings to something reasonable and make sure that requests exceeding this limit are being throttled.

    Also, if you can find a common hostname or user agent for these bots, you can block them by a custom pattern in (Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking > Custom Pattern).

    Thanks.
