Attacks die at the edge. Your site doesn't.
When attackers flood your WordPress site with bogus traffic, PhantomGuard's 250 Tbps+ global network absorbs the attack across 119 PoPs worldwide, detecting and mitigating threats in under 10 seconds, so your site stays online and fast for real visitors.
A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack floods your WordPress site with massive amounts of fake traffic from thousands of compromised devices (botnets), with one goal: exhaust your server resources and take your site offline.
WordPress sites are uniquely vulnerable because every request typically triggers PHP execution and database queries. Even a modest attack of a few thousand requests per second can bring down an unprotected site.
UDP Flood, ICMP Flood, SYN Flood, NTP & DNS amplification, massive bandwidth attacks measured in Gbps and Tbps.
Exploit weaknesses in TCP/IP stacks, SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks, Ping of Death.
HTTP floods targeting wp-login.php, XML-RPC, search and WooCommerce checkout endpoints.
Plugin-based security tools like Wordfence run inside WordPress, which means by the time they "block" a malicious request, your site has already accepted the connection, started PHP, loaded WordPress, and queried the database. During a DDoS, this is fatal.
Always safe. Always on. Our mitigation system detects and prevents attacks in under 10 seconds.
Our system continuously monitors traffic across 119 global PoPs and detects abnormal patterns the moment they appear, volumetric spikes, protocol anomalies or L7 floods aimed at wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php.
Traffic is intelligently routed and distributed across our 250 Tbps+ network backbone, so attack volume is absorbed across hundreds of data centers instead of crushing a single origin.
Dedicated DDoS filtering hardware and software, paired with Edge AI, strip malicious traffic at the network edge. Only verified, legitimate visitors reach your WordPress site.
Every attack is logged and analyzed to continuously improve future mitigation rules, your protection gets smarter with every incident across the network.
Common signs of an active DDoS attack:
Activate PhantomGuard during the attack
You can deploy PhantomGuard's edge protection in under 5 minutes by changing your DNS, even while the attack is ongoing. Once your traffic routes through our network, the flood stops reaching your origin immediately.
DDoS attacks aren't going away, they're getting more powerful. PhantomGuard's edge network absorbs them before they can take your site down.
