+#### Understanding the limitations of the bouncer
+
+While this plugin provides effective protection for most scenarios by intercepting and bouncing web requests that go through the [WordPress loading process](https://medium.com/@dendeffe/wordpress-loading-sequence-a-guided-tour-e077c7dbd119), there are inherent limitations to this approach. These limitations can create potential gaps in coverage, which you should be aware of:
+
+1. Requests to PHP files outside of the WordPress Core loading process
+
+   Since this plugin is loaded as part of the WordPress core process, it will not attempt to retrieve or apply a remediation if a custom public PHP script is accessed directly.
+
+   To ensure all PHP scripts are covered, consider enabling the [auto_prepend_file mode](#auto-prepend-file-mode). 
+   
+
+2. Requests to Non-PHP Files (e.g., .env or other static files)
+
+   Requests for non-PHP files, such as `.env` or other static files, are not handled by this plugin.
+   As this limitation is tied to the nature of PHP itself, you may need to implement additional server-level protections (e.g., strict file permissions or blocking access to sensitive files through server configuration) to secure such files.
+
+   For example, you can deny access to hidden files, using the Nginx directive 
+   ```nginx
+   location ~ /\. {
+       deny all;
+   }
+   ```
+
+   or the Apache one: 
+
+   ```htaccess
+   <FilesMatch "^\.">
+       Require all denied
+   </FilesMatch>
+   
+   ```
+
+
+
+By understanding these limitations, you can take additional steps to secure your site comprehensively and complement the protection offered by the `CrowdSec Bouncer` plugin.
+
 ### Configurations
