How CloudFilt stops Inventory Hoarding

URL rules
Give your login, checkout or API paths their own rules, stricter than the rest of the site.
-
Flood & brute force
Anti-flood thresholds per IP and per URL stop request bursts, credential stuffing and aggressive crawlers.
-
Headless browsers
The front script spots automation: headless Chrome, WebDriver, browsers that never run JavaScript.
