How does the plugin work?

This plugin optimizes web performance and security. Its main purpose is to load web pages faster, decrease server loads and protect against various online threats, such as DDoS attacks or unauthorized access. Install the plugin in your WordPress administration and change DNS servers according to instructions, so it can effectively monitor and filter website traffic.
The plugin works on the anycast proxy principle, which directs traffic through its optimized and secure servers. These servers process and optimize content before it reaches users. The plugin also utilizes intelligent caching, compression and minification of files to further speed up rendering times and reduce server load. It also features a firewall, bot detection, DDoS protection and other tools to maintain a high level of security for your website and users.
