Question Spam Bots

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.21 Update #5

Hello,

I'm currently using Plesk Obsidian 18.0.21 Update #5 to host a B2B newsletter. As you might appreciate, webstats are a crucial resource vis a vis advertisers.

Recently my stats have gone haywire! Many hundreds of page clicks which I know - after 15 years of publication - a entirely spurious. I suspect I am the victim of spam bots.

I would welcome any advice on how to rid myself of this evil!

Many thanks.

Maybe you find useful information in this thread:

Resolved - What does Enable Bot Protection Actually Block?

What bots does the enable bot protection in WordPress Toolkit for Plesk actually do? Is it a modification to htaccess? Is it php directives? How can I see this list? Can I edit this list? Seems a bit bold to put an option in for blocking bad bots without any documentation.
