Bunny Shield

• AI-Powered WAF

  Next-gen WAF engine that blocks zero-day exploits, OWASP Top 10, and emerging risks with AI recommendations and real-time logs.

• DDoS Protection

  Volumetric and application-layer DDoS mitigation backed by 250+ Tbps network capacity across 119 global scrubbing centers.

• Global Rate Limiting

  Set precise rate limits per IP, user, or path globally across your entire infrastructure to control abuse.

• Bot Mitigation

  Detect, block, and neutralize malicious bots in real time using behavioral fingerprinting without impacting legitimate users.

• Access Lists

  Block traffic using curated threat lists for VPNs, Tor nodes, and other threat sources, or create custom access controls.

• Upload Scanning

  Automatically scan uploaded files for viruses, malware, and CSAM to prevent harmful content from reaching your platform.

Nivoli Edge

• Full-Page Edge Caching

  Caches whole pages on the Cloudflare node nearest each visitor, tagged with Surrogate-Keys so one post save purges only the affected pages via stale-while-revalidate.

• Asset URL Versioning

  Gives stylesheets, scripts and fonts addresses that change on purge, so browsers pick up updated files immediately instead of serving stale ones for up to a week.

• Edge Image Optimization

  Rewrites images at the WordPress filter boundary and transforms them on the fly via Cloudflare Image Resizing: right-sized per device, WebP or AVIF per browser.

• Origin Shield

  When the origin errors or stops responding, serves the last good cached copy for up to 7 days, with email alerts when the shield engages and when the server recovers.

• Pre-PHP Security Shields

  Seven shields enforced at the edge before WordPress boots: stray-.php 404s, wp-admin IP lock, login rate limiting, AI-crawler blocking, login country lock, XML-RPC 410, security headers pack.

• Cookieless Audience Analytics

  Measures pageviews, countries, referrers and devices at the edge, no JavaScript snippet, no cookies and no consent banner; bots counted separately.

• Edge URL Rules

  Answers dead routes with cached 410s and maps redirects from the edge with per-rule fired counts; one-click block from the error log.

• Surgical Purge

  Dispatches purge requests non-blocking by Surrogate-Key tags on save, delete and comment events; purge triggers can be locked to your own IPs.

• Coverage Audit & Repair

  Weekly re-run measures the optimized share and emails on regression; the runtime misses log groups uncovered images into one-click rules; fake-image scan repairs HTML-disguised-as-JPG files.

• Broken & Heavy Image Tools

  404 inbox from real edge failures, where-used lookups with edit links, a heaviest-images list with one-click Tinify shrink, and a scan for images that never load.
