Throttle configuration

  • enable throttle module in Administration -> modules
  • configure throttle module
    • Auto-throttle on anonymous users: 200 ; calculated as maximum visits per hour (6000) == 100 per minute times 2 to be sure == 200
    • Auto-throttle on authenticated users: 0 ; we are not throttling for them.
    • Auto-throttle probability limiter: 1% ; keep it low for a busy site, throttle module is writing to the database (1 on 100 now).
  • configure blocks module
    • for now we have all blocks enabled for throttling. Please add problem blocks that are disabled here.

What does it mean for nabuur.com

  • the frontpage (the landing page for most google adwords visitors) is not affected.
  • anonymous visitors can still surf the site, read articles, search for villages. The only thing they miss are some blocks on some pages.
