Overview

ClickCease Bot Zapping is a WordPress-focused bot-mitigation add-on that protects onsite conversion funnels and e-commerce flows by detecting invalid, automated, and malicious visitors and redirecting them to a 403 unauthorized page. It runs continuously, applies extensive behavioral and technical tests to distinguish bots from real users, and enforces real-time blocks so analytics and ad performance reflect genuine traffic. The solution installs as a WordPress plugin, uses authentication keys for each domain, and integrates with the ClickCease dashboard for monitoring and management.

Features and Capabilities

• Detection engine: Uses thousands of detection checks and behavior signals to identify bots, automated scripts, and malicious visitors, minimizing false positives and focusing blocks on invalid traffic.
• Real-time blocking: Automatically redirects detected bots to a 403 unauthorized page or otherwise prevents them from interacting with conversion pages, protecting form submissions and checkout funnels.
• WordPress plugin: Simple plugin install and activation flow; uses authentication, secret and domain keys to connect the site to the Bot Zapping service and enable protection per domain.
• Dashboard & analytics: Provides a Bot Zapping dashboard showing total valid visits, invalid requests, known crawlers, daily breakdowns, and threat group insights so teams can analyze traffic quality.
• Coverage for conversion pages: Designed specifically to guard conversion funnels — forms, checkouts, and lead capture pages — preventing fraud checkouts and spam submissions that skew analytics.
• Compatibility: Works with common WordPress builders and e-commerce plugins (examples include mainstream page builders and WooCommerce), enabling broad compatibility with typical WordPress sites.
• Easy activation & keys: Activation includes selecting domains to protect, obtaining authentication/secret/domain keys from the dashboard, and pasting them into the plugin to enable protection; monitoring mode is available.
• Support & setup: Quick install steps, refresh/update cadence for dashboard data (near-real time; small refresh lag for reporting), and 24/7 support resources and knowledge-base articles for troubleshooting.
