I code for a living but I’m an absolute newbie in anything web.
I don’t know just how serious the infestation of crawlers is, so let me ask a naive question:
is it possible that my brand new and never advertised website is already under DoS only a couple hours after launch ??
I’m using a combination of #Hugo, #GitHubPages, #Namecheap and #Cloudflare (all of which, completely new to me). Everything looked right seconds after the latest deployment, but now all I’m seeing is a blank page with the name of the domain and I have no idea what’s going on.
#webdev #dns #https
