How do you distinguish real users from bots when traffic is high but conversions are low?
I'm working on a free SVG icon project called IconShelf and recently noticed something confusing. Analytics show decent traffic, but signups and conversions are much lower than expected. To investigate, I started reviewing sessions in Microsoft Clarity and found behaviour that makes me suspect that a significant portion of visits may be from bots, crawlers, or automated traffic. I'm already using Cloudflare Bot Management and several WAF rules. I'm curious how other developers handle this. What tools do you use to identify bot traffic? Do you rely on analytics, server logs, Clarity, or something else? How do you measure "real" traffic versus raw pageviews? Have you ever discovered that your actual human traffic was much lower than your analytics suggested? I'd love to hear what worked for you and any lessons learned from tracking user behavior and conversions. What is the solution from developer prospective? Here in the screenshot 70% are bots? https://preview.redd.it/19jsil0e5m6h1.png?width=2604&format=png&auto=webp&s=70591a9e33c635cfbaacc64c9af1b5800b6e2e74 submitted by /u/Parking_Pea5161 [link] [留言]
