Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ShieldUp - Bad Bots, Scrapers, Attackers

Yes, fairly easy. Just leave it installed for a couple of hours to collect data if you think you are under attack of some sort or for a few days to get an idea of what is going on.
No, it is really lightweight and self-cleaning. It is coded that way to be optimized and fast.
Yes, even if you don't see any attacks or bad bots right away, it doesn't mean they will not come in a day or a month, for example. So, it is better to have it ON and collecting valuable data so you know what is going on and what was happening in the past.
No, this is basically IP-based HTTP/HTTPS request/access statistics, heavily organized and sorted in a way that will easily help you identify potential BAD BOTS, attackers, malicious intents, etc. You can then take action on each of these IPs using your favorite firewall. We strongly recommend CloudFlare.
No, this is our recommendation to use CloudFlare for HTTP/HTTPS traffic and CSF for other security on the server. But you can use only CSF if you wish, or even better, some hardware firewall if you have that in place.
No, we explained in detail in this description why we think they are not the best solution for this purpose. One of the main concerns is using server resources to protect your website.
