Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders
13 Jan 2020Today I decided to take a look at my Google Analytics for this website and I had way more traffic than a site like mine ought to have.
Drilling down into the stats I noticed that most of the traffic must be from either bots or spiders.
Google Analytics does have a setting though to filter those out.
Log in to your analytics and go to View Settings
where there will be a Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders
checkbox.
Make sure that is checked.
Success 🎉
