Prevent Spiders From "shopping"


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi

Every day my webshop is visited by some kind of spider that puts lots of products in a shopping cart, of course without buying anything. Is it any way for me to disallow these spiders to visit my site?

osc Admin->Configuration->Sessions->Prevent Spider Sessions, set it to true.

 

search your domain with search engines see what results show up. If you see sessions with the urls indexed about your store install the session regeneration module.

I think I know what the poster means.

 

I have an up to date spiders.txt but occasionally I am visited by a spider/auto user that has a session and shows as multiple instances of an IP and just loads up carts.

 

I just block the IP via the server.
