Velocity window + limit (burst submissions control)

Feature

Velocity controls — Detects burst submissions from the same fingerprint (IP/session/user agent + payload patterns).

How it works

AegisSpamGuard tracks how many submissions happen within a rolling window. If the limit is exceeded, it adds points and may trigger Challenge/Hold/Block depending on your thresholds.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Set “Velocity window (seconds)” and “Velocity limit (submissions per window)”.
  3. Save changes.

Recommended setting

Recommended: Window 600 seconds and limit 5 to start.

This catches spam floods without punishing normal users; tune down only if you see heavy bot bursts.

Why you need this

Admins need burst controls to stop rapid spam waves and protect performance.
