Firewall velocity threshold (10-minute burst control)

Feature

Firewall velocity threshold — Limits rapid repeat hits from the same fingerprint within a rolling time window at the firewall layer.

How it works

If a visitor or bot hits too many pages quickly, AegisSpamGuard can challenge or block before WordPress performs heavier work.

How to access / enable

1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
2. Firewall section
3. Set the “Firewall velocity threshold (10m)” value.

Recommended setting

Recommended: Start conservative (higher number), then tighten.

You don’t want to block legitimate users browsing quickly; tune after watching the Firewall log.

Why you need this

Admins use this to stop aggressive crawlers, scrapers, and flood behavior.
