I experienced a 19.3M attack per hour, all through HTTP. Despite purchasing the pro plan and activating the rules, I’m still facing this issue.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
Here’s what I did on my Cloudflare setup:
Definitely automated Block
Static resource protection ON
Optimize For WordPress ON
JavaScript Detections ON
Block AI Scrapers and Crawlers ON
On WAF Manage Rule Set:
Cloudflare Manage Ruleset ON
Cloudflare OWASP Core Ruleset ON
Cloudflare Exposed Credentials Check Ruleset ON
For DDoS:
Activated Under Attack Mode
Even after taking these measures, my resource usage goes up to 80-90%. I’m unable to block the attack. Is there any solution to this that allows Google bots to access my site?
Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?
