Bot Defense plugin

Block unwanted bot traffic before it can waste WordPress server resources.

It uses signals passed from Cloudflare through custom headers to identify and rate-limit automated traffic, while fail2ban-style detection blocks bots probing URLs and resources that normal human visitors would never request.

The goal is simple: allow legitimate visitors and useful bots through while blocking as much abusive, wasteful, and malicious bot traffic as possible.
