That\u2019s why we\u2019ve upgraded the Staq Firewall. We&#8217;ve identified and blocked a botnet farm operating across <strong>130,000+ unique IPs<\/strong> globally, resulting in a <strong>20% drop in infrastructure-wide bandwidth and request load<\/strong>. This helps protect your sites without affecting legitimate visitors and incurring additional resources and costs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\ud83d\udd27 Git Environments \u2013 Now Full Site Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2023, we introduced Git support for plugins and themes.
