I’ve had this happen quite a bit and as far as publishing, I was able to get around it by using the Beam app but when previewing in my RW8, it’s appearing to my host to (after a certain amount) to be bots attacking the host

```auto
The application, script, or service connecting to the website to ensure it is not generating excessive requests or repeatedly failing security checks.
If your application legitimately makes a high volume of requests, implementing rate limiting, connection reuse, or reducing concurrent connections may help avoid triggering the firewall.

```

I’m using Total CMS1 but was wondering if there’s something I can do within Rapidweaver 8 to mitigate this issue.

Thank you.
