In October, we mainly tuned the content caching. We have made great progress, especially with WordPress sites. We can return any static content in thousandths of seconds after receiving a request from the user, while checking if it is up-to-date in units of seconds up to 60 seconds (depending on the tariff). The average site on WEDOS Global Protection has increased in speed by approximately 48%.

In September, we also saw an increase in the number of attacks compared to the holiday months. In today’s report we will look at the “stronger” DDoS attacks on L3/L4 and probably the strongest L7 DDoS attack so far in terms of number of requests per minute. Of course, we will also discuss the building of WEDOS Global Protection and what we are currently working on.

The second holiday month was definitely not a time of rest. Firstly, we continued to build WEDOS Global, but also had to deal with the increasing activity of some botnets that did not primarily intend to carry out DDoS attacks, but were looking for vulnerabilities. When their requests collapsed at one point, they managed to make some of our customers uncomfortable.

Even during the holidays we did not slack off and continued to build our WEDOS Global infrastructure. We optimized routing in selected locations, continued to arrange new ones and are finishing up some broken ones. As a result, we’re getting better response rates in several countries, and we’re also testing several new features that we’re going to make available to all users. Of course, there were also DDoS attacks, although in terms of number and strength it was more like a holiday traffic.

In June, we again took the entire WEDOS Global infrastructure further. The response has improved in a number of countries and we have added a few new features that we hope to roll out to everyone soon. Of course, there were also DDoS attacks, which we successfully filtered out. Interestingly, despite the increase in sites protected by WEDOS Global Protection, DDoS attacks decreased in June. Looks like our attackers are starting to get away from us.
