Granted I’m no expert with Wordfence, but from what I can gather, It’s blocking a Googlebot. I’ve been checking out the IPs and a couple of them appear to be from Google.
Some Google crawler bots can give your site a hug of death if left unchecked. If you don’t want them blocked completely you could try adding a crawl delay to your Robots.txt file.
I believe there’s a setting in Wordfence to not apply traffic thresholds to Google’s crawlers.
