Case Study: WMPH Vacations achieves 40% faster site speed and doubles leads while eliminating scraping, form spam, and SQL injection with Distil Networks

WMPH Vacations eliminates web scraping, form spam, and SQL injection attempts; increases site speed by 40%, and leads by 100% YoY

WMPH Vacations, a travel company with 30 websites and the Cruise Finder app, was under constant automated attack: aggressive price scraping that slowed sites, persistent form spam that polluted backend systems, and ongoing SQL-injection and vulnerability-scan attempts. Manual IP blocking and CAPTCHAs were time-consuming (about 20 hours/month) and harmed conversions, and the team needed a way to block bad bots while preserving real users and SEO.

By deploying Distil Networks’ Secure CDN, WMPH eliminated form spam, removed CAPTCHAs for real users, and doubled leads year‑over‑year while raising contact form conversion by 22%. Site response times improved 40%, SQL-injection attempts were stopped before reaching their code, manual remediation time was cut, partners were protected from scraper-driven load, and the company gained click-fraud visibility and responsive support.
