A website has been temporarily blocked due to an excessive number of requests made from a single IP address. The issue is often caused by automated scripts or bots that overwhelm the server with traffic.
When too many requests are made, the server’s capacity is reached, and it needs time to recover before allowing more requests. This can lead to slower page loads, errors, or even complete denial of service.
To resolve this issue, website administrators can implement various measures such as:
* Rate limiting: restricting the number of requests allowed from a single IP address within a specified timeframe
* IP blocking: temporarily or permanently blocking access from problematic IP addresses
* Content delivery networks (CDNs): distributing content across multiple servers to reduce the load on individual servers
By taking these steps, website owners can prevent excessive requests and ensure a smooth user experience.
