Faster site means more people getting ID'ed as bots #2876

Closed mlissner closed 1 year ago

mlissner commented 1 year ago

All the work we've done to move the site to async seems to be having an amusing (?) result: More people being I.D.'ed as bots. I need to loosen the Web Application Firewall in AWS (WAF).

Actually, it could be other ratelimiters, not the WAF. I asked the user experiencing this to send a screenshot.

Maybe the site was just too slow to respond requests to even trigger a rate limit previously?

mlissner commented 1 year ago

Yep. That's my theory.

Hm, fewer complaints about this. Maybe it's fine. Setting this aside for now.
