    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting in touch about this.

    Independent Analytics ignores self-identifying bots like search engine crawlers, but doesn’t make any attempts to block bots that disguise themselves as human visitors. If you are getting visits from malicious bots, I would recommend using either Cloudflare or the Shield Security plugin to block them (both are free). These will block the “bad bots” from accessing your site entirely, rather than just keeping them out of your stats.
