Bot Exorcist Free Version – Hardened Firewall

BotExorcist Free Firewall - Observation Mode

BotExorcist Free Firewall - Observation Mode gives WordPress site owners a hardened traffic-visibility layer for seeing bot noise, crawler activity, suspicious visits, 404 probes, no-signal sessions, and automated traffic patterns hitting their website.

It is built for website owners who want to understand what is really happening on their site before activating paid protection controls. The free version helps expose the traffic story: who is visiting, what is being requested, which bots are active, and where suspicious behaviour may be appearing.

What the Free Version Includes

• Free hardened WordPress firewall foundation.
• Observation Mode for monitoring bot and crawler activity.
• Visibility into suspicious no-signal visits.
• 404 probe and junk URL monitoring.
• Crawler visibility for search engines, AI crawlers, and automated traffic.
• Traffic-quality reporting to help separate human activity from automated noise.
• Static error-page support for cleaner 404 and blocked-page handling.
• Upgrade path to BotExorcist Pro for active enforcement controls.

See the Traffic Before You Fight It

Many website owners only see traffic totals, bounce rates, or form results. BotExorcist Free Observation Mode helps reveal the behaviour behind those numbers: repeated bot visits, silent sessions, crawler pressure, junk URL probes, and traffic that may not behave like real human interest.

The free version is ideal for discovering whether your WordPress site is being affected by bot noise before upgrading to active Pro protection.

Upgrade When You Are Ready

Observation Mode helps you see what is happening. BotExorcist Pro unlocks active Protection Mode, Human Signal Gate enforcement, IP/CIDR blocking controls, blocked-list intelligence, and premium firewall tools.

PPC Integrity is available as a separate add-on for advertisers who want paid-click evidence tracking, no-signal paid-click review, and post-click behaviour reporting.

Important Notice

BotExorcist Free Observation Mode helps detect, monitor, and reveal automated traffic patterns affecting WordPress websites. Results vary by site, hosting setup, traffic profile, plugin configuration, and reporting period. Active enforcement controls require BotExorcist Pro.
