Rate limiting restricts how many requests a single visitor can make to sensitive endpoints like your login page or contact form within a given time window, directly preventing brute-force login attempts and form-spam bots without affecting normal human usage.
Without rate limiting, an attacker can attempt thousands of login combinations per minute, or a bot can flood your contact form, both real problems that a simple rate limit closes almost entirely.
Rate limiting is active on your login page and contact forms, confirmed not to interfere with normal use.
The Security Ring turns this into a real, permanent mission — mark it complete once you have genuinely done it.
