 * is there any plugins to restrict maximum page requests within x many seconds?
 * like if a user or a bot ddos attacks any of my wordpress urls and they hit the
   max requests within x many seconds they get blocked like added to a temp cache
   of some sort or blocked via htaccess
 * i would prefer it to ban ip’s via CSF firewall somehow.. using the CSF deny list
 * or talk to cloud flare via API and add those ip’s to block list…

 * I use [Wordfence](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/), and that’s been very
   good for that so far. There’s always more that can be done if you use a firewall
   on your server, but that does take a lot more configuration. For what I’ve needed
   so far, including (so far) 5 pretyt heavy-duty brute-force attacks, Wordfence
   has worked for me.

 * k thx for the recommendation..
 * i have firewalls set up and many other protections in place but.
    cloud flare
   makes things difficult and there is so much i can do on the server part.
 * as the real visitor ip’s are not shown to the server only to apache using the
   mod_cloudflare module and the rate limiter for CSF would not work. since it would
   end up blocking the cloud flare IP ranges which isn’t good.
 * + my server kernel doesn’t allow CSF rate limiter to function since it is a custom
   made kernel (OVH one with extra protection embedded into it)
 * i am using zbblock for wordpress protection highly recommended against any kind
   of XSS hack/injections.
