we are using Turnstile and it is highly recommended by us (you have to register at Cloudflare, but this is quickly done and ok), >> and have a look at Blackhole for Bad Bots - thirty bees store also, this is very useful too !!

Not all stores use Clodflare. The module from the thirtybees repository “nocaptcharecaptcha” also secures the customer registration form.

Parameters behind # are for client use only. Request to the server never contains those parameters, server never sees them and can't react to them. When you open urls https://www.example.com/en/products/84/sample-product#/72-size-large or https://www.example.com/en/products/84/sample-product#/whatever your server receive the very same request - https://www.example.com/en/products/84/sample-product It does not know what combination you are requesting. Javascript will later parse the hash parameters, and will modify the product page to display the wanted combination if it's found. This also means that initial page render shows different combination, and only a few milliseconds later the page is 'adjusted' When you provide ?combination=xxx parameter, server knows upfront what you want to display, and can returns page with combination already selected (if your theme supports this, of course). The page already contains correct pricing information, product name, reference code etc -- this is important for web crawlers. This means that you need to provide urls with standard query parameters (after ?) to google

There is a bug in thirty bees or the core updater that not every time the update runs define('_TB_BUILD_PHP_', '8.1'); in settings.inc.php is updated. It is not critical and you can manually edit this if you're sure the update propagated and your shop is running OK. This isssue was spotted a while back and @datakick advised that it can be fixed that way but nobody tracked down the issue so it's still present for some users in some scenarios.

Personally, I think Turnstile is MUCH better than Google reCaptcha. It's also worth considering changing your anti-spam security.

The module in github from above is for thirty bees and it works flawlessly.

Not all stores use google accounts. 🙂 Turnstile is separate service from Cloudflare. There is no need for your store to be behind it to use Turnstile. Yes, account with them is needed but I advised for this module as it offers smoother flow for the real customers imho.

Put a pulse monitor result to keep server running ...

He did write that he's alone... and it can be a good solution for other circumstances, too.

I also think that's a good idea, even if it's not something you think about every day. The time until "standby mode" should be adjustable, because some people only need to log into the back office every 2-3 days, not daily... it really depends on the business. Do other shop systems have something similar? That would give thirtybees another small unique selling point.
