Checks visitors that claim to be Googlebot with a reverse DNS lookup and blocks the impostors, which are usually scrapers or vulnerability scanners.
Temporarily blocks visitors who hit more than 20 missing pages within a minute, a typical sign of vulnerability scanners probing for old plugins and backup files.
Replaces the ?ver= value on plugin and theme CSS and JavaScript files with a short hash, so scanners cannot read your exact plugin versions from the page source, while caches still refresh whenever a version changes.
Stops the Redirection plugin from logging 404s caused by crawlers and vulnerability scanners (wp-login probes, .env and .php file hunts), so the log shows only real broken links.
Limits how many REST API requests a logged-out visitor can make per minute and answers "429 Too Many Requests" beyond that, slowing scrapers and scanners.
