Bots stay out of your numbers
- Data
Highseat now keeps three kinds of automated traffic out of every report: hits from data centres, browsers driven by automation tools, and browsers claiming versions too old to be real. Data centres are matched by their network, so a headless browser on a cloud server is caught even when it looks like Chrome.
Filtered hits never reach your stats or your plan's event count. Highseat stores them apart, with only the time and the reason, so the dashboard can show how much it kept out and why.
Crawlers that announce themselves are left out too, as before.
Improvements
- A site's own first-party proxy is never mistaken for data centre traffic.
