Description:
Blackhole Pro is a WordPress security plugin designed to automatically detect and trap bad bots within a virtual blackhole. These bots are blocked from accessing your site, which helps stop leeches, scanners, and spammers. By preventing malicious automated traffic, the plugin saves precious server resources for legitimate visitors and improves overall site security. It works silently behind the scenes to prevent bad bots from damaging your brand.
The plugin offers complete control over how your site responds to bad bots. Users can customize threshold levels, set email notifications, and define warning and blocked messages. It includes a full-featured Bad Bot Log that provides complete bot data, such as IP, request, and user agent, with filterable search and automatic geo location lookups. You can also set custom redirects and HTTP status codes for blocked traffic.
Blackhole Pro provides advanced control over bot access, allowing you to whitelist or blacklist bots based on IP address or user agent. It is built using WordPress APIs and works with other security plugins. The plugin also features an automatic honeypot spider trap and records the number of times each bot is blocked.
The vendor’s own page for Blackhole Pro has the full details.
