Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is a technique to control the amount of traffic a website can handle. It is often used to prevent denial-of-service attacks and other malicious activity. Rate limiting can also be used to improve a website’s performance by preventing it from overloading with too much traffic. There are several ways to implement rate limiting, but the most common approach is to use a “leaky bucket” algorithm. This algorithm allows a certain amount of traffic to pass through the site each second and slowly leak out any excess traffic over time. This ensures that the site can still function even if there is a sudden surge in traffic. Rate limiting is essential for keeping your website safe and running smoothly. If you’re not already using it, you should consider implementing it on your site. Prome Media is an expert in website rate limiting and can help you implement it on your site.
