Stop bots hammering your website with fake page requests.
Bots often ask for thousands of pages that do not exist, looking for weaknesses or generating junk traffic. BotExorcist keeps a record of repeat requests and can stop persistent offenders.

One missing page is normal. Thousands are not.
A customer can mistype a link once. A bot can request hundreds of pages you never created, hoping to find a weak spot. Each request makes your server do work. BotExorcist spots the repeated knocking and records which source is doing it.

Thousands of fake page requests can slow your real website.
Every time a bot asks for another fake page, your server has to answer. Thousands of those requests can steal capacity from your real customers, slow page loading or cause temporary errors. If Google finds the server struggling, it may reduce crawling. A normal 404 is not itself a ranking penalty.
Block repeat abusers without punishing mistakes.
A genuine missing page should still say “not found.” But a bot hammering thousands of imaginary pages can be blocked after the repeated abuse is identified. We protect real visitors and the crawl access your legitimate pages need.
