Questions
Before You Start
What happens during the trial?
You can install Bot Blocker, review live bot activity, and test the controls before the annual license begins.
Does it slow down WordPress?
The plugin is designed to keep expensive work off the live request path. Geolocation and trusted bot checks run asynchronously.
Can I choose what gets blocked?
Yes. Categories can be allowed, logged, rate limited, temporarily blocked, or blocked, with manual overrides for trusted tools.
Is the logging privacy conscious?
Bot Blocker uses privacy-safe defaults, IP hashing and masking, retention cleanup, and WordPress personal data tools.
