Feature
Firewall returns blank page — When blocking at the firewall layer, return a simple blank/fast response instead of a friendly error page.
How it works
Bots learn from rich error pages; a minimal response is faster and reveals less information while still stopping abusive traffic.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Firewall section
- Toggle “Firewall returns blank page” ON/OFF.
Recommended setting
Recommended: ON for public sites.
It’s faster and less informative to bots while still being safe for humans (humans rarely see firewall blocks).
Why you need this
Admins who care about performance and reducing bot feedback loops benefit from this.
