Bot detection & flagging
32%

Scraper detection
24/7

scrapers, click bots and fake accounts work around the clock

Three lines of defense

Each layer catches bots the previous one missed.

1

Server-side analysis

Known bot signatures, IP reputation (datacenter, VPN, proxy) and good-bot verification via reverse DNS and official IP ranges.

2

Client-side detection

Headless browser checks, automation traces, mouse movements, scroll and click patterns and event.isTrusted verification.

3

Weighted scoring

Rule-based scoring weighs all signals into one bot score. Suspicious visitors are flagged in your dashboard.

Detection Capabilities

Six components that identify bots together.

Weighted Scoring

Rule-based scoring with weighted signals from all detection layers. New detection rules run in a shadow pipeline first before they count.

Weighted scoring

Behavioral Analysis

Mouse movements, clicks, scroll patterns and touch. Bots move differently than humans.

Mouse + Scroll + Click + Touch

IP Reputation

Datacenter, VPN and proxy IPs are recognized and weighed into the bot score.

SEO Protection

Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot and other known bots (35 in total) are verified against the operators' ~2,000 official IP ranges and reverse DNS. Much harder to fake than the user agent alone.

Your SEO is safe

Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot and other search engines are automatically verified via reverse DNS and official IP ranges. Over 100,000 search engine bots verified so far.

Verified search engine bots are kept separate and never count as fraud. A bot that pretends to be Googlebot but doesn't come from an official range is caught immediately.
