404 storms: WordPress SEO attack evidence
Bots request fake paths, old plugin files and exploit routes that real visitors never use.
Product 01 / WordPress protection
BotExorcist protects the search and security evidence around your WordPress site from fake URLs, crawler impersonation, hostile probes, 404 storms and automated no-signal traffic.

The hidden attack layer
A website can remain online while bots manufacture crawl waste, dirty URLs, dead sessions and a misleading traffic picture.
Bots request fake paths, old plugin files and exploit routes that real visitors never use.
Junk parameters and malformed routes attach themselves to clean pages and multiply crawl noise.
Crawler names are claims. BotExorcist protects verified Google and Bing crawlers while exposing imposters.
One-second arrivals with no scroll, click, dwell or navigation should not speak for human visitors.

SEO signal protection
URL Pollution Shield rejects garbage query strings and fake route attacks, records repeat offenders and preserves clean lanes for legitimate tracking, APIs and verified search crawlers.
Evidence-led enforcement
See bot pressure, suspicious paths, crawlers and no-signal arrivals before enforcement.
Combine behaviour, route, IP, ASN, CIDR and repeat history into a transparent verdict.
Block hostile repeat patterns while preserving verified crawlers, administrators and trusted traffic.
Inspect the evidence, allowlist exceptions and refine WordPress firewall controls deliberately.
Beyond ordinary malware security
A normal firewall may log an isolated 404 or block a known exploit. BotExorcist connects fake paths, one-second visits, crawler identity, login pressure, ASN repetition and visitor history.
