Bot Protection

Bot protection that detects, names and blocks bad bots

Half the web is automated. DevDome checks every hit against 650+ known crawler signatures, 1,400+ datacenter networks and 15 million+ known-abusive IPs, shows exactly which crawlers, proxies and scrapers hit your site, and lets you block the abusive ones per threat.

Free on unlimited sites. No credit card required.

650+ known crawlers

Every hit is scored against dozens of signals: missing browser fingerprints, datacenter IP ranges, automation markers, impossible behavior patterns and known bot user agents.

Datacenter and proxy detection

Traffic from datacenter ASNs and residential proxy networks is identified and labeled, so a burst of fake visitors from one hosting provider never reads as a traffic win.

Headless browser and automation detection

Headless Chrome, Puppeteer, Selenium and similar automation frameworks leave fingerprints. DevDome recognizes them even when they pretend to be a normal browser.

AI scraper catalog

GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider and the rest of the AI crawler wave are tracked in a living catalog of 78 named bots, with live counts of how often each one hits your site.

Click-fraud protection

Bots that click affiliate links and ads burn your budgets and skew conversion data. DevDome separates real clicks from bot clicks on every link, page and redirect.

Per-threat blocking

Do not just count bad bots, stop them. The Bot Protection plugin blocks abusive crawlers and scrapers before they reach your content, and a robots.txt export keeps the polite ones away too.

Bots do not just skew stats, they cost money

Automated traffic inflates your analytics, wastes server resources, clicks your paid links and scrapes your content for AI training. The first step is seeing it clearly: DevDome shows the bot share of every metric, names the bots, and tells you why each one was flagged.

  • Named bot catalog with live per-bot hit counts
  • A clear reason for every flag: ASN, automation, behavior or signature
  • Bot traffic excluded from your plan allowance automatically
  • Per-country and per-page bot breakdowns

Detection first, blocking when you want it

Blocking blindly breaks things, so DevDome is careful by default. Legitimate crawlers like Googlebot are recognized and never mislabeled, while the abusive share can be blocked with one toggle per threat through the Bot Protection WordPress plugin, currently being proven on our own production sites ahead of release.

  • One-click threat toggles per bot category
  • Search engine crawlers protected from false positives
  • robots.txt export for AI scrapers and SEO crawlers
  • Works together with DevDome Analytics out of the box
