Bot filtering

What is removed, why, and where to read the ledger.

Bot traffic is removed before it reaches any chart and doesn't count toward your plan. Nothing is deleted: every removed visit is kept with its reason, and the Bots removed page lists them.

user_agentThe user agent names a crawler, script or HTTP library.
automationThe browser reported it is driven by automation (navigator.webdriver).
headlessHeadless browser signals: no languages, a zero-size window.
referrer_spamThe referrer is a known referrer-spam domain.
rateOne visitor sent more hits a minute than a person can.
datacenterThe visit came from a cloud or hosting network. On by default; can be turned off in settings.
floodPart of a burst of identical visits with no engagement: same country, device, landing page and source, many times the usual size. Checked every few minutes; can be turned off.

Signups and identified users whose visits were all bots are listed separately, so a fake account doesn't look like a conversion.
