Enabling WAF Protection
This section describes how to enable WAF protection.

- The WAF engine does not run on your web server. Therefore, your web server performance will not be affected.
- After your domain name is connected to WAF, there will be a latency of tens of milliseconds, but might be raised based on the size of the requested page or number of incoming requests.
- You are billed for queries per second (QPS) or service bandwidth. One HTTP GET request is counted as a query, and the maximum QPS WAF can handle is 10,000. The total volume of normal traffic to a website or domain names protected by WAF is counted as the service bandwidth, and the maximum service bandwidth WAF can handle is 300 Mbit/s.
