Bot traffic

Noun

[bot tra·fuhk]

Bot traffic is any traffic to your website or app that doesn't come from a real human. Bots come from automated software and are created to perform simple, repetitive actions. While bots often carry a negative connotation, bot traffic isn't inherently good or bad without knowing the function it performs. Some are required for search engines and other essential tools, and others can be malicious. Web engineers can spot bot traffic by analyzing network requests. Bots can also be detected by web analytic tools.

Example: Bot traffic is a common part of the digital space and often carries out useful operations like monitoring websites or crawling SEO.
