Bot Traffic Skews Analytics
Automated bot and AI crawler traffic inflates analytics, skews conversion metrics, and drives up server and hosting costs while evading existing blocking tools.
In their words
foreign IPs for bots got past that Managed Challenge and ended up continuing to hit our backend!
I have a small e-commerce site that keeps getting fake customer accounts set up by bots.
My live traffic view in wordfence is constant bot after bot. I block them and more show up.
When I send a newsletter, there are certain recipients that always, immediately, open the email and click the first three links. It is obvious they are not real.
Over 2,100 accounts had been created in less than 20 minutes.
In the last 24h: 685 requests from germany, 266000 from the US
my sprint task for the week is to somehow build a complex exclusion filter in looker studio so their vanity metrics still look ok-ish
I tried blocking, they still sent tens of thousands of requests per day.
Meta essentially DDOSes me all the time. They seem to think that sending 1k+ requests per second to my site is acceptable.
I manage 100's of WP sites and I've had a few dozen Wordfence reports today from thousands of Amsterdam and Bulgarian IPs just hammering my sites.
the real business traffic is actually very low (only a few orders per day), but we still experience regular downtime
80% of our traffic are AI bots... We have to feed the infra to support all this traffic.
flooded with hundreds of thousands of requests coming from scraper bots ... This made me hit the bandwith cap of my hosting provider and had to pay extra per TB used that month from my own pocket
121 of them turned out to be cloud scrapers using normal Chrome and iPhone user agents.

Tools they use today

Why those fall short
- basic rate limiting alone was not enough to stop the attack
- Rotating IPs defeat rate limits; headless browsers simulate real users
- unknown
- crawlers ignore crawl-delay and rotate IPs and user agents
- no upstream bot filtering; dashboards show inflated vanity metrics
