Throttle is a WordPress implementation of a bandwidth limiting throttle. It provides the framework to monitor and report current site load to your site’s plugins or themes, allowing them to limit non-essential elements until load reduces. By doing this it can help to limit the effect of traffic peaks on your server’s performance.

Throttle

Adds load-throttling capability to Wordpress and handles bandwidth spikes by automatically deactivating non-essential services.

While many stores would be thrilled to have a never-ending order queue, some store owners are faced with the opposite problem: how can I make sure I don’t get overwhelmed by too many orders?
Limit Orders for WooCommerce lets you limit the number of orders your store will accept per day, week, or month, while giving you full control over the messaging shown to your customers when orders are no longer being accepted. Once limiting is in effect, “Add to Cart” buttons and the checkout screens will automatically be disabled.
