The bots aren’t taking the summer off… and neither are we.
Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen a sharp increase in automated attacks against WordPress and Woo sites. Card testing. Login abuse. Spam registrations. Contact form attacks. You name it.
The problem isn’t just blocking bots. It’s knowing where they’re getting in, how they’re attacking, and which layers need to be hardened without breaking your website. We've also seen some amazing protection from our partners at Kinsta with their new Bot Detection software. Read more on their new tool https://kinsta.com/bot-protection/?kaid=HKRSZNZRSNIG
Anyone can install a plugin.
Knowing how to configure Cloudflare, harden WordPress, secure WooCommerce checkouts, tune payment gateways, analyze logs, and stop attacks before they become expensive… that’s where experience matters.
This is why hiring a WordPress/WooCommerce specialist isn’t just about building websites anymore. It’s about protecting your business.
If your site has been seeing unusual traffic, failed payment attempts, or an increase in spam, don’t ignore it. The bots certainly aren’t.
Most site traffic isn’t human. Block malicious bots, control AI crawlers, and protect performance with Kinsta’s built-in Bot Protection tool.
