CF GarageThe challenge: origin overload from uncontrolled traffic
As a hosting provider or infogerant, noisy tenant sites and unmitigated bot surges threaten stability for all clients on shared infrastructure. Web application firewalls directly on origin servers consume excessive server resources trying to parse malicious traffic that should have been dropped at DNS/CDN level.
Key operational headaches for hosting providers:
- Sudden CPU spikes from AI scrapers: Hundreds of simultaneous requests querying CMS dynamic pages or database search endpoints.
- L7 DDoS and credential stuffing: Attacks on WordPress XML-RPC, wp-login, Magento, or WooCommerce endpoints.
- Bandwidth exhaustion: Serving static assets repeatedly from origin instead of high-efficiency Cloudflare edge cache.
- Client complaints: Customers demanding performance improvements without wanting to pay for higher hardware tiers.
