No web application firewall or CDN detected

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security layer that filters incoming web traffic and blocks common attacks — SQL injection, brute force login attempts, and DDoS floods — before they reach your server. No WAF or CDN providing this function was detected. Without a WAF, your server is directly exposed to the internet with no automated filtering. A DDoS attack (a flood of fake traffic) can take your site offline. Automated bots continuously scan for vulnerabilities and will find yours without a filter in place. Place your site behind a CDN with WAF capabilities. Cloudflare's free tier includes basic DDoS protection and a WAF for most common attack patterns. For higher-security needs, AWS WAF, Sucuri, or similar paid options provide more comprehensive coverage.
