• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Issue Protect wordpress sites against bot/scrapers causing 100% CPU/RAM load.

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.61 Update #5
Hello, we are facing attacks of bots/scrapers on some of our servers sometimes (Multiple domains at once)
This is causing a 100% CPU load across all the cores so all websites become unreachable and the plesk admin UI becomes slow

We enabled the Wordpress Security measures from the Plesk UI on all of the sites that stopped the XMLRPC attacks but there are still attacks that come true
the apache-badbots does not seem to pick them up either and block there IP's the only thing we could do so far is just wait til the attack finished (The last one took quite some time)
