How To Prevent Bots And Crawlers To Show Up As A Visitor In Stat ?

[Penge]

Hello

 

What is the best way to prevent bots and crawlers to not show up as a visitor on the stat module in Prestashop ?

 

Thanks

By blocking bad bots in your .htaccess

 

Here's a list of 'bad' user agents: https://github.com/bluedragonz/bad-bot-blocker/blob/master/.htaccess

 

Make sure you place it outside of the part that's automatically generated by PrestaShop.

 

Very useful your response, thank you.

I wonder where i must put my new .htaccess for this purpose. Can i have a new folder "bots" with my .htaccess file to avoid Prestashop override ?

I have exactly the same question, but the answer given here is not satisfactory, because we must not block robots or crawlers otherwise we will lose the SEO

I searched for the part of the code that records visits in the ps_connections table in the database to exclude robots in this record, but with a lot of research, it remains untraceable.
Anybody know the solution?
