Who this is for

Web designers and agencies whose client sites are actively under attack and need someone who can read traffic logs and deploy WAF rules fast.

Client’s site is getting hammered and the server is struggling

Traffic volume is spiking, the server is overloaded, and the site is slow or intermittently down. We get into the Cloudflare traffic logs and deploy rate limiting to stop the flood.

Bot traffic is getting through Cloudflare and hitting the origin

Sophisticated bots rotate IPs and user agents to evade simple blocks. We analyze the traffic patterns and build targeted WAF rules that stop the bots without blocking real visitors.

Spam form submissions are flooding the site

Contact forms and comment sections are common targets. We deploy Cloudflare Turnstile rules or WAF challenges at the specific form endpoints to stop submissions from bots.

A competitor or bad actor is scraping the site or running credential stuffing

Credential stuffing against login pages and aggressive scraping are distinct attack patterns that need different responses. We identify which is happening and configure the right countermeasure.

Cloudflare free plan WAF isn’t stopping the attack

Free plan WAF rules are limited. We know which custom rules can be deployed on free plans and which situations require a Pro upgrade. We deploy what works and advise on what might be needed.

You need someone who can be on-call during a high-risk period

Launch day, a big campaign, or a known threat window. We can be on standby with Cloudflare access to respond immediately if traffic spikes or an attack starts. See also: Cloudflare support.

Active attacks we shut down through Cloudflare.

This service is for sites already behind Cloudflare. We use the dashboard, logs, and WAF to stop what is hitting the site right now.

Bot Traffic Targeting Specific Endpoints

Bots hammering a specific URL: a checkout page, search endpoint, wp-json, or REST API. The goal is to consume server resources without triggering a full site flood. We identify the targeted path in the logs and apply rate limiting or WAF rules scoped to that endpoint.

Brute Force on wp-login and xmlrpc.php

Thousands of login attempts per minute hitting WordPress is one of the most common attack patterns we see. We block them at the Cloudflare edge with WAF rules before the requests ever reach the server.

Credential Stuffing and Account Takeover Attempts

Bots testing stolen username and password combinations against a login form at scale. We deploy challenge rules and rate limits to stop the attempts without locking out real users.

IP Range and Country Blocking

When an attack is concentrated from specific IP ranges, ASNs, or countries, we block them at the Cloudflare edge. Fast to deploy and immediately effective against volume attacks from identifiable sources.

Form Spam and Contact Flooding

Contact forms, registration pages, and comment sections hammered by bots at volume. We add WAF rules and managed challenge responses to stop bot submissions without breaking the form for real visitors.

Custom WAF Rules Built from Live Traffic Logs

We read the Cloudflare firewall event logs and analytics to identify exactly what the attack looks like, then write WAF rules targeted at those specific request patterns, user agents, or request paths.

Rate Limiting and Request Throttling

Rate limiting rules that drop or challenge traffic once a threshold is hit per IP per time window. Tuned so legitimate users are not blocked while attack traffic is stopped before it reaches the origin server.

Post-Attack Hardening

After stopping the attack we review what was exposed and close the gaps. WAF rules are left in place, rate limits are set correctly, and we give you a summary of what happened and what was done to prevent it again.

DDoS Traffic Floods

High volume request floods that overwhelm shared and managed hosting. We enable Under Attack Mode, analyze the traffic pattern in the Cloudflare analytics, and configure rate limiting to stop the flood at the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about active attack mitigation through Cloudflare.

Does my client already need to be on Cloudflare?

Yes. This service is specifically for sites already behind Cloudflare. If your client is not on Cloudflare yet and they are under attack, we can help with an emergency migration, but the fastest path to stopping an active attack is always through an existing Cloudflare account. See our Cloudflare setup service if they are not on it yet.

How fast can you respond?

Calling is the fastest path. If you call during business hours, we can often be in the Cloudflare dashboard within minutes. Tickets submitted for active attacks are flagged as urgent and responded to as fast as possible. Outside business hours, ticket monitoring is active for emergencies.

What access do you need to stop the attack?

We need access to the client’s Cloudflare account. Usually that means a Zoom session where you share your screen and we walk through it together, or you add us as a temporary collaborator. We do not ask for hosting credentials unless the issue requires a server-side change.

Can you guarantee the attack won’t happen again?

No. We cannot guarantee that attackers will not change tactics and try again. What we can do is stop the current attack and put WAF rules and rate limits in place that block that specific pattern going forward. Most opportunistic attacks move on when they hit real resistance. But a determined attacker who changes their approach will require additional response. We will always be honest with you about what the rules cover and what they do not.

What if the site is not on Cloudflare but it is under attack right now?

Call us directly. Getting a site onto Cloudflare during an active attack is possible and often the fastest way to stop it. Cloudflare sits in front of the server and can absorb the traffic almost immediately after nameservers are pointed. We have done this before and we can walk through it fast.

How a attack mitigation session works

Call us immediately and share Cloudflare accessFor active attacks, calling is faster than a ticket. Share Cloudflare dashboard access right away. Tell us the domain, what you are seeing, and how long it has been happening.

We read the logs and deploy countermeasuresWe analyze the traffic in the Cloudflare analytics and security events, identify the attack pattern, and deploy WAF rules, rate limiting, or IP blocks to stop it while the attack is live.

We stay until it is confirmed stoppedWe monitor traffic after deploying rules to confirm the attack is stopped and that legitimate visitors are not being blocked. We do not close until the site is stable.
