Hi,
We are getting heaps of bot traffic and tried talking with plus support, re: blocking traffic from china. it is making the metrics quite unusable. we are plus as well.
Anyone got any ideas? it is really causing issues.
For the Shopify Analytics Reports, they did recently add a new filter for human_or_bot_session in the sessions table: Filter out bot traffic in your sessions related reports - Shopify Changelog
So you can add this to the ShopifyQL query to exclude sessions they detected as bot/automated traffic:
WHERE human_or_bot_session = 'human'
hey @Jonathan-HA, tried that, only 25% (max) are flagged as bot
@ChrisBradley you can try https://geoshield.exenlabs.com/ it works for a number of our clients. let us know if you have any questions on it.
wanted to update that we change from A name record to Cname on cloudflare and then used manage challenge on cloudflare for CN which solved it.
