Bot control: manage, don't block blindly

Scrapers posing as GPTBot and crawlers that hammer your server — you decide who gets through, right from the dashboard. Classic search engines — Google and Bing — are never blocked.

Why this is not Cloudflare

It never answers what that traffic is worth, doesn't make your pages readable for agents and doesn't let an agent buy. Botmetria adds analytics, catalogue fixes and agent checkout — with a guard rail: Google and Bing are never blocked. DDoS and WAF stay with Cloudflare.

Five modes

Off

Observe only: everything is counted, nothing is blocked.

Showcase

All verified AI bots welcome — the best chance of reaching AI answers.

Allow-list

Only the vendors you named get through; the rest are blocked.

Server optimize

Overloaded? Bots get 503 + Retry-After for a set period, then the previous mode returns automatically.

Custom matrix

Per-bot allow/block decisions — full manual control.

Anti-spoofing

A “GPTBot” from a random IP is not GPTBot. Every visit is checked against the vendor's official IP ranges; spoofed ones can be blocked outright.

Search engines are never blocked

Googlebot and Bingbot are protected by a fuse in the code: no mode, list or matrix can block them. Your SEO is safe by design.

Your own lists

Custom bot rules by User-Agent substring and CIDR network blocks — for the scrapers only you know about.

Where blocking runs

Managed from the dashboard; applied where the integration can enforce:
