Site protection, Spam Protection, Content Protection, Site Security, Security Tools

Safeguard your Joomla website with our powerful Bot & Spam Blocker—a must-have tool designed to keep your site secure, fast, and user-friendly. Say goodbye to hackers, spam, and sneaky content thieves while giving your website the performance boost it deserves.


Shield Your Site from Bots and Spam

Our smart module works in real-time to distinguish between genuine visitors and pesky bots. It blocks harmful bot activity instantly, ensuring your site loads faster for real users. This not only enhances the experience for your visitors but also lightens the load on your server, cuts down traffic costs, and speeds up page loading times—sometimes by several folds!

Rest assured, the good bots—like Google, Yahoo, and Bing—can still access and index your site effortlessly. Using clever checks like User-Agent and PTR records, we let the right search engines through while stopping unwanted intruders with our advanced algorithm. Only fully verified browsers pass the test!

Lock Down Your Content with Scraping Protection

Content theft is a real threat. Every day, bots roam the web, stealing text, images, and ideas to repost elsewhere. When your hard work ends up on other sites, Google might penalize your rankings, pushing you down in search results. Our module puts a stop to this by safeguarding your content and images, helping you maintain your site's value and search engine position.

Supercharge Your Site’s Performance

Did you know that up to 70% of server strain comes from bots, scrapers, and hacker scripts? These unwanted guests slow your site down while hunting for vulnerabilities or stealing data. Our blocker stops them before they even get a chance to load, slashing server strain by 30-40%. The result? A lightning-fast website that keeps real visitors happy.

Stay One Step Ahead of Cyber Attacks

Hackers use automated tools to scan millions of sites daily, hunting for weaknesses to exploit. Once they find a gap, your sensitive data could be at risk. Our module blocks 99% of these vulnerability scanners, keeping your Joomla site safe from prying eyes and reducing the chances of a breach.

Wave Goodbye to Spam

Tired of spam clogging up your comments, forums, or feedback forms? Our module halts automated spam tools in their tracks. Whether it’s fake user registrations or junk messages, our real-visitor detection algorithm ensures spam bots don’t stand a chance—leaving your site clean and professional.

Stop Fraud Before It Starts

Online stores, listen up! Hackers often target customer credit card data, using bots to test stolen cards on your checkout pages. This leads to headaches like refunds and fraud disputes. Our module blocks 99% of these fraudulent bots, saving you time, money, and stress while keeping your customers’ trust intact.

Keep Your Prices Under Wraps

Competitors love to spy on your pricing with automated scripts. The moment you tweak your prices, they follow suit—messing with your sales strategy. Our Price Scraping Protection stops these bots cold, forcing rivals to visit your site manually if they want a peek. Your discounts and deals stay your secret weapon.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Easy to Use: Simple setup, powerful results—no tech expertise needed.
  • Boost SEO: Faster load times and protected content mean better rankings.
  • Peace of Mind: Focus on growing your site while we handle the threats.

Upgrade your Joomla site today with the Bot & Spam Blocker—because your website deserves the best protection, performance, and care!

Documentation
Absolutely NO documentation provided. Advertised as "free" plugin. Ha! After install, it is only good for 2 weeks without $$$$ subscription.
I used this to: Screening malicious bots from my website. But THIS extension is a malicious, phishing $$ scam and you are punished with a crashed website if you don't $ign up. Be forewarned: don't touch it!

Works well from the moment it's turned on, stopped all unwanted and spam/scam registrations on my site.
Ease of use
It's either an "off or on" plugin, nothing really to configure - just turn it on and that's it.
Support
Haven't had the need to contact support, not for this product yet. It's not a plugin that I've needed support for.
I used this to: I use this to stop the thousands of fake registrations that were happening on my site every month. Installed this and the fake registrations stopped instantly - no false registrations have come through since.
Functionality
Very limited functionality without a paid upgrade. Uses an external dashboard to monitor. Crashed my site on uninstall. Terrible. STAY AWAY.
Ease of use
It is not obvious how to get what is promised in the description. I finally got to a bot monitor screen, but not sure I could get back!
Support
Documentation
I used this to: I had hoped to use it to keep bots from harassing my site, but I had to uninstall it and then restore from a backup when the uninstall crashed my site.
