    Can someone explain why I would see this being posted every few seconds in my logs? Just an example URL. Not sure if this plugin is working with 4.5.3 , as it appears people are abusing this to kill my server.

    The abusers are somehow bypassing my limits of connections in general (Wordfence, fail2ban, denyhosts, stop spammers). Thanks if anyone can explain this, or what other information I should provide.

    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1" 200 31 "http://www.example.com/post-link/"
