Reminds me of Obama’s jokes about Hillary from the White House Correspondent’s dinner from 2016. Hi, it’s Aunt Hillary? Did you get my poke?

Two things to consider - check out Pressable or another dedicated WP Host. If you’re over the price for shared hosting, they’re competitive with Dedicated/VPS + addon backup solutions. They have a ton of caching built in, plus hourly backups. But it’s not for everyone.

One thing with the CDN considerations - where’s your audience? Local like in or around one city? Or local as in one country. The wider the reach, the more a CDN is beneficial. It doesn’t sound like it would help a lot. But it can also offload storage and the load of serving those requests.

To add what others said - Caching. You could do it on site and add Cloudflare on top of it. But you’ll probably want to add a few custom rules to cloudflare like Geo-restriction + no caching on /wp-admin/. Cloudflare also has anti-bot tech.

Beyond that, I’ve been waging a war on bots for a number of reasons. One of the easiest ways to block them is to block ASNs if you use Cloudflare. If AI or bot traffic is a problem, read on. If not, don’t worry about any of this.

If you want to block IP ranges yourself in Apache/nginx, your firewall, or your VPS provider’s firewall, start with looking up IPs in Amazon and Microsoft’s IPs (Like as listed here: https://ipinfo.io/AS16509) and start with the largest ranges.

With one line you can block 4.1M IPs from Amazon: 3.0.0.0/10 - start with these and go down to /16 and in a few hours you’ll kill access to tens of millions of bots.

You can also block by user agents.

I’m happy to share some Apache Rules/files if it would be helpful.

My theory on blocking is simple: I try to block as much as possible as far from the application layer at possible. It costs the most, in computational resources you pay for, to add a firewall inside of WordPress, like Wordfence. It also protects you the least. Blocking at Cloudflare and the VPS’s providers firewalls would be most efficient, followed by the firewall on the VPS, followed by an Apache/Nginx firewall, and then your application layer - WordPress. If you’re problems are mostly bot traffic, you want block as much bad traffic as possible without false positives.

When it comes to things like this, all Republicans are asleep at the wheel of with their head placed firmly up their ass. Almost all the time when they’re asked about something he did or says, their answer is “I don’t know, I didn’t see/hear it”

So maybe not physically asleep - but certainly asleep at the wheel.

It’s about time Congress woke the fuck up. The only option here is to impeach - this is textbook corruption that would make Senator Menendez blush.

Awfully funny coming from the weapon’s grade tomato. He’s rotten to the core and far from his "mission.

He also flipped him the bird.

You say sabotage but they see it as keeping wages low, profits high, donations flowing and Republicans in power. They need just enough smart people to make the machines, just enough average people to maintain the machines and a whole lot of poor people to do the work not worthy or cost effective to build a machine for.

God forbid their base learn the truth about anything!

Its amazing how far Republicans go to keep people dumb, its almost like they know they’d never get elected if people were educated…🤔

Controlling electricity and teaching a rock to do math should probably be spoken about in the same sentence at those two. AI, not ao much.

For once, he’s wrong. electricity or the microchip would be the answer there, as without both of those AI doesn’t exist, along with the Internet or any other other modern tech.

The basic technology underpinning all other tech has to be the most consequential.

i want to slap that writer so hard.

that’s why this time around, there can be no mercy. All of them must hang. The precedent must be set so these trash don’t try it again in 70 years.

JD Vance tells us not to call people Nazis…what this clown actually is out-Nazi-ing the Nazis.

We really need a law that says any device you own cannot show you ads and any “recommendations” or promotions stuff from the company itself must be one setting to disable. And it cannot be tied to maintaining an active subscription or anything else they may think up.

If you pay money for a device, in itself it can’t show you ads. Services and apps you install, may.
