How to Know if You Are Under DDoS Attack | Sucuri

There are a few different ways that you will know if you are under a DDoS attack.

One of the first signs that you are under attack is that your website will either be completely shut down or it will take a really long time for your website to load. A site can go down due to a high spike in traffic but then it would typically load back up shortly after. When under a DDoS attack the site can be down for days.

Key Takeaways:

• The DDoS attack relies on a network of automated entities to swamp a system with requests rendering it inoperable.
• The first signs of a DDoS attack can be as obvious as the site being down or unresponsive, but also merely slower or lagging in more sophisticated attacks.
