WordFence's firewall - Traffic Down

[FoxThinker]

Traffic started going down around the time when I installed WordFence's firewall. Almost 35% down. Do you have any ideas about it?

Deactivate and use CloudFlare. You want WP itself as simple/uncluttered as possible otherwise it's going to run very poorly.

I think we use WordFence on everything - please do report back (or anyone share who has left WF in the past) if they saw a boost?

Traffic is likely down as it is doing its job and blocking malicious user agents..

IMO it's better to use Cloudflare instead of relying on Wordfence firewall. At least this is the way I prefer to do it
