I have a problem on one website where people sometimes get blocked (with the standard 120 requests\/min). I don&#8217;t know if 500 would be better, so i disabled rate limiting for this site. There is a plugin wich loads a bigger size of small images, so i think this could be the reason. Wordfence for example uses settings like 480\/960\/1920\/unlimited, but Vigilant has 500 max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are these the same request you see in the developer settings of your browser?
