Good day.
I have dealt with such cases on WooCommerce / WordPress, where the site starts to be overwhelmed by bot/cart spam requests, resulting in PHP, MySQL crashing and the hosting quickly consuming resources.
In your case, the problem is not just "high load," but specifically constant requests to cart / add-to-cart / remove_item, which hit WooCommerce sessions, the database, and dynamic pages that are almost not cached. Because of this, even with a normal 403, the server still spends resources on processing.
What I can do for this task:
— analyze the logs and find the main patterns of load
— check what is causing the most load: PHP, MySQL, wp-admin/admin-ajax, cart fragments, WooCommerce sessions, bots, or cache bypass
— set up protection through Cloudflare / firewall rules / rate limiting / bot filtering
— limit or properly filter spam/cart requests
— check caching and exclusions to avoid breaking the cart and checkout
— provide targeted fixes for WordPress / WooCommerce / server to keep the site stable under load
I work carefully: first a quick audit, then a list of causes, after which I make adjustments by priority to avoid "shooting in the dark."
What you will receive as a result:
— a clear reason for the overload
— a configured basic protection against such spam
— reduced load on the server / MySQL
— recommendations on what else should be improved if the hosting is already hitting its limits
I have worked with WordPress/WooCommerce and load optimization, and I also understand well how such attacks bypass caching and why even "simple cart spam" can take down a site.
If needed, I can start with an audit of the logs and configuration, and then move on to the fix.
