DDoS (denial of service) attacks

Insofar as your server can handle it. It depends on what sort of DDoS you’re talking about. DDos mitigation should really be done at the server level or before.

If you’re looking for protection from DDoS before the traffic touches your site, please use something like CloudFlare: https://www.cloudflare.com.

There is no WordPress plugin that is built that can protect you fully from DDoS. And if they sell themselves as that, then they’re lying.

Thank you very much for your information.

This is the Wordfence Security plugin that claims to provide DDoS security, so it’s not true?

That’s up to you to research and discuss with them. We’ll not be getting into making comments on particular security plugins.

As I said in my previous comment:

Insofar as your server can handle it

There is no WordPress plugin that is built that can protect you fully from DDoS

WordPress plugins can help mitigate the effect of DDoS where a server is still responding to requests. But can a plugin protect against DDoS? I would be lying if I said Shield could do that, and I’d be further lying if I said we could ever build Shield to do that.

I understand, thank you for your return Pro!
