 * Bots like google or bing are constantly triggering query-strings such as “add-
   to-cart” or “srsltid” which lead to high CPU usage. Is there a way to prevent
   this with your plugin?
 * Unfortunately our hosting provider does not simply allow us to create cloudflare/
   WAF rules.
   Thank you in advance.

 * Hi [@domster1337](https://wordpress.org/support/users/domster1337/)

 * Are not related to our plugin. The free version of the plugin uses only GET parameters
   during filtering. The behavior you described is most likely related to WooCommerce
   itself or other plugins installed on the site.
