Cache and Rate Limiting

    It seems that the rate limiting doesn’t work in the presence of WP-Optimise with Cache turned on. Maybe because the Cache bypasses a fresh page load?

    If I turn off the Cache, it works and throttles with a 503 message as expected.

    Otherwise, with caching on, I can view unlimited pages.

    Hello @itsryu and thanks for reaching out to us!

    It almost sounds like the Firewall might not be optimized and the cache is loading faster than the WAF is.

    Can you send a diagnostic report to wftest @ wordfence . com? You can find the link to do so at the top of the Wordfence Tools > Diagnostics page. Then click on “Send Report by Email”. Please add your forum username where indicated and respond here after you have sent it.

    Thanks!
