 * Is there a feature to limit max URL requests per IP?
    So we can limit max # of
   URL requests per minute or hour by IP.
 * Does pro version have this ability?
    If not please recommend best plugin solution
   for this.
 * We have sites getting hammered by bot servers scanning all posts making new URL
   request 3 or 4 times per minute.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@wordmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordmax/),
 * Rate limiting is not a feature of the plugin, but there may be other plugins 
   that can do it. I suggest searching the WP Plugin Directory for terms like “rate
   limit” and similar, should give you some results.
