<h2><strong>7 Independent Rate Limiters</strong></h2>
<p><strong>1. Registration Protection</strong> — Stop registration spam and automated bot accounts. Limit signups per IP with customizable time windows and block durations. Recommended: 3 attempts per 60 minutes, block for 24 hours.</p>
<p><strong>2. Checkout Protection</strong> — Prevent payment fraud and checkout abuse. Covers classic forms, AJAX checkout, and WooCommerce Blocks. Recommended: 10 attempts per 60 minutes, block for 12 hours.</p>
<p><strong>3. Login Protection</strong> — Block brute-force password attacks across all login methods (WordPress login, WooCommerce account login, REST API, custom endpoints). Recommended: 5 failed attempts per 30 minutes, block for 60 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>4. Password Reset Protection</strong> — Prevent email enumeration attacks by limiting password reset requests per IP. Stop attackers from discovering valid email addresses in your system.</p>
<p><strong>5. Comment & Review Protection</strong> — Stop spam submissions on posts, pages, and product reviews. Configure independently for different limits on comments vs. reviews.</p>
<p><strong>6. Payment Method Protection</strong> — Reduce card testing attacks by limiting payment method additions per IP. Works with all WooCommerce payment gateways and REST API.</p>
<p><strong>7. IP Management</strong> — Whitelist trusted IPs (office, developers, partners), manually block suspicious IPs, and view all currently blocked IPs in your dashboard.</p>
