Rate Limiting

Hi @awecodebox, thanks for reaching out.

Rate Limiting with requests from the site’s own server back to itself, or within a development environment won’t have the desired effect as private IPs aren’t rate limited. I would use?cURL or a browser from another machine.

Thanks,
Peter.

I wrote the following function to make 500 requests from another server to my website that location on a different server

function sendMultipleRequests($url, $numRequests = 500) {
$mh = curl_multi_init();
$handles = [];
for ($i = 0; $i < $numRequests; $i++) {
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    // You can set other CURL options as needed

    curl_multi_add_handle($mh, $ch);
    $handles[] = $ch;
}

$running = null;
do {
    curl_multi_exec($mh, $running);
} while ($running > 0);

$responses = [];
foreach ($handles as $ch) {
    $responses[] = curl_multi_getcontent($ch);
    curl_multi_remove_handle($mh, $ch);
}

curl_multi_close($mh);

var_dump( $responses );
}

// Example usage
$url = 'https://example.com/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1';
$responses = sendMultipleRequests($url);

But as you can see in the following screenshot

Can you tell me where my mistake is in this test?

Or might it doesn’t work. I’m confusing

I figure it out
