Feature
REST request abuse protection — Scores suspicious REST requests to reduce spam and automated abuse of WordPress endpoints.
How it works
The engine inspects request context, headers, and patterns. Depending on your configuration, it can apply scoring and rate-limit or block abusive requests.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Enable REST protection (if available).
- Tune firewall/velocity thresholds for best results.
Recommended setting
Recommended: Enabled on public sites with heavy bot traffic.
REST endpoints are commonly probed; early scoring and rate-limiting reduces load and abuse.
Why you need this
Admins protect site performance and reduce automated scanning noise.
