I think the problem is more related to the skilleset of the blog owner, which may not necessarily be in devops but instead economics or journalism or other (tough to say without being able to acess the content). It's a feature not a bug that we all have different skills. I certainly do not want to discourage others from sharing their opinions due to technical issues that could be resolved more easily by developers (through their implementation and documentation) as much if not more than end users in a given situation.

Yeah, adding a little bit of caching (at least as WordPress plugin without dependencies for external entities) is now the DevOps problem that requires the DevOps solution, nice. Well, I mean, you can front the blog with Cloudflare using their wizard for free without any technical knowledge. What kind of DevOps magic do you need there?

  You I guess need the knowledge that you need to do that.

  Maybe changing the default settings based on user experience, or the implementation of a caching layer of some sort for infrequently changing blogs posts (seems that could be the majority) or making the importance of these settings more accessible to the people who use them and aren't developers in layman's terms. I don't use WordPress or blog personally. I do imagine that this particular issue is causing the author of the post anxiety due to it's unforseen (to them) failure. I'd prefer the computer not discourage them.

According to their own description: "Planet Storyline is a website, which provides you information about Technology, DigitalMarketing, Graphicdesign and more about Lifestyle Blogs." so it's more than a random human studies researcher lacking tech skills. As @pepemon points out, the free tier of CloudFlare is probably sufficient and most of the non-tech people running their own variant of WP I know of stopped after being attacked (successfully...) by bots at some point. If you lack tech skills, I think it's best to go to wix, squarespace etc. anyway but platforms are definitely not a requirement and you'd be surprised by the amount of (again non-tech) people who can learn to use a static site generator (with premade theme) and host it using vercel or even S3. At some point, if you want to spread a message, it's worth learning how to do it.
