Application-Layer DDoS Protection (Layer 7)

AegisWAF delivers application-layer (Layer 7) DDoS protection specifically designed for WordPress workloads, enforcing per-IP and per-endpoint request thresholds over defined time windows. Unlike network-level mitigation offered by hosting providers, this protection targets PHP-level request floods aimed at login pages, REST APIs, search endpoints, and dynamic routes. By enforcing limits before WordPress execution, AegisWAF prevents resource exhaustion, preserves site availability, and ensures consistent performance even during sustained attack conditions.
