Drupal Throttle

There is an unsung hero of Drupal, a fantastic module which is quite handy and a good safeguard from site crashes.

Throttle - The Drupal ‘Sheriff’ or the ‘Mayhem Manager’ if it can be called that…

The Throttle module in Drupal when deployed plays the role of a congestion control agent as it automatically detects a rise in the incoming traffic of your website. Especially useful if the site is too busy and already serving many users or comes under a Denial of Service (DOS) attack which makes your website inaccessible to its intended users and puts pressure on the web server. Congestion control throttle can be automatically enabled when it is detected that the number of anonymous users currently visiting a website are on the verge of exceeding the specified threshold.

Using the throttle module the other modules can automatically optimize their performance by disabling CPU-intensive functionality. For example, pictures can be disabled on a site when the website visits start questioning the threshold.

Drupal, has many such exciting functionalities which makes it the leading open-source Content Management System (CMS) of today. Are you looking to power your website with Drupal? Talk to any of our agents who would be happy to assist you to give you the best out of Drupal.
