 * What settings would you recommend to resolve DDOS attacks on your site? I have
   a site that keeps getting attacked and just wanted to know if you had any recommended
   settings that should be in place or is it just more trial and error. Also would
   the premium version do a better job protecting against DDOS attacks?
 * Thanks much.

 * Hi [@sasserp01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasserp01/),
 * Wordfence can help you stop DDOS attacks via the Rate Limiting feature which 
   lets you limit how many pages visitors and automated crawlers can access on your
   website per minute.
 * However, even though you’ll find suggestions for these settings in [our documentation](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/rate-limiting/),
   the optimum configuration will depend on your site and the traffic you expect.
