Botcrawl Bot Blocker

Botcrawl Bot Blocker is a professional WordPress security plugin that identifies, logs, and blocks unwanted automated traffic before it affects your site. The live traffic monitor gives you a real-time view of incoming bot requests, including IP address, user agent, country of origin, and the reason each request was blocked. Every event is stored in a searchable log so you can review patterns over time and understand exactly what is hitting your site. The Pro registry covers 647 known bots across six categories: search engine crawlers, AI scrapers, vulnerability scanners, content scrapers, spam bots, and fake trusted bots. Detection uses three layers working together: user agent matching, DNS reverse-lookup verification, and behavioral heuristics. When a bot claims to be Googlebot but fails DNS verification, it is automatically escalated to a permanent block rather than a temporary one. Country-level blocking lets you restrict traffic from specific regions entirely. The weekly email digest summarises blocked traffic so you stay informed without checking the dashboard daily. Log data can be exported as CSV or JSON for use in your own analytics or reporting. The block page served to blocked visitors is fully customisable. You control the message, layout, and HTTP response code. Licensing is handled through a built-in key system. Enter your Sera license key once and Pro features activate immediately. License status is verified against sera.guru with a 24-hour local cache, so there is no performance overhead on live requests. Botcrawl Bot Blocker works as a standalone plugin and does not require Sera Hub, though it integrates with the Sera ecosystem if you use it.
