How efficient is this WAF Rule with regards to speed?
( (http.request.uri.query contains "filter_") or (http.request.uri.query contains "orderby") or (http.request.uri.query contains "min_price") or (http.request.uri.query contains "add-to-cart") or (http.request.uri.query contains "per_page") or (http.request.uri.query contains "per_row") or (http.request.uri.query contains "shop_view") )
I have added this WAF Rule to prevent bot traffic hitting query filters and be shown interactive challenge.
Chatgpt says this rule is efficient and will add only few milliseconds to be procesed and will not cause any significant speed difference.
Is it true?
