Threats blocked before they reach your server

WordPress sites face constant attack. Cloudflare Enterprise intercepts threats at the network edge — SQL injection, DDoS floods, credential stuffing, and malicious bots — before any request touches your origin server.

Unmetered DDoS Mitigation

Cloudflare fights DDoS attacks aimed at customers every three minutes. Enterprise includes unmetered mitigation — no matter how large the attack, you pay nothing extra and your site stays online.

Bot Mitigation

Using heuristics and behavioural analysis across thousands of sites, Cloudflare spots bad bots — scrapers, spammers, DDoS network builders — and blocks them before they consume your server resources.

Web Application Firewall

Cloudflare's WAF blocks the most common WordPress attack vectors — SQL injection, XSS, and credential stuffing — at the network edge. Your application logs stay clean and useful.

Rate Limiting

Identifies and blocks IP addresses that hit a URL excessively — protecting your WordPress site from brute force attacks and DDoS floods while letting legitimate traffic through unimpeded.

HTTP Traffic Filtration

With 20%+ of all HTTP traffic flowing through its network, Cloudflare's machine learning models trace the fingerprints of bad actors and filter them from your incoming traffic automatically.

Zero-Day Threat Response

Enterprise customers receive immediate WAF rule deployment for zero-day WordPress vulnerabilities — before patches are available. Network-wide threat intelligence protects your site in real time.

Performance infrastructure

Serve your WordPress site at global edge speed

Cloudflare Enterprise puts your WordPress content on 200+ edge nodes worldwide. Visitors get assets served from the closest location — not from your origin server on every request.

Cloudflare APO for WordPress
Automatically caches dynamic WordPress content at the edge — slashing TTFB and reducing origin server load without configuration
Tiered Caching
Only top-tier data centres request fresh content from your origin server — lower tiers pull from the tier above, protecting your server from unnecessary load
Argo Smart Routing
Identifies congested network paths and routes traffic via the fastest available path — reducing latency and timeout issues globally
Cloudflare Global Edge
200+ edge locations serve HTML, assets, and JavaScript files from the node closest to your visitor — not your origin server

How it works

From visitor request to your WordPress server — protected at every step

1
Visitor makes request

A visitor opens your WordPress site. The DNS request resolves through Cloudflare's network — routing begins immediately at the edge node closest to them.

2
Threats filtered at edge

WAF, DDoS mitigation, bot detection, and rate limiting all operate at the edge — before the request reaches your server. Bad traffic is dropped silently.

3
Content served from cache

If content is cached at the edge (HTML via APO, assets via CDN, or tiered cache), it's returned instantly. No origin server request needed.

4
Origin receives only clean traffic

Only verified, uncached requests reach your WordPress server — via Argo's optimal path. Your server handles legitimate dynamic requests, nothing else.
