How to Spot a Robot

In this age of A.I. it’s getting harder to distinguish bots from humans

Here are 3 ways to find those bots…

1

Use a tool like reCAPTCHA

This option is appealing because you can just drop in their script.

But don’t forget to factor in the cost and accuracy.

2

Put your site behind a CDN

Services (like CloudFlare) can help you to detect and filter out the traffic from bots (and AI) before it even hits your site.

3

Create a little “honeypot” page

This page should only be reachable via hidden links on your website. The humans won't click them, but the bots will.
