- Rate limiting for AJAX endpoints
- Health monitoring and alerting
- Audit logging system
🎯 Performance Targets (Updated)
- Page Load Overhead: <1.5% (improved with PHP 8.3)
- Admin AJAX Response: <75ms (MySQL 8.0 optimization)
- Restriction Toggle: <200ms (enhanced caching)
- Cache Hit Ratio: >98% (intelligent invalidation)
- Memory Usage: <8MB (PHP 8+ efficiency)
