Keep out bots, attacks and fraud – and stop paying for fake clicks.

The challenge

The problem we solve

  • DDoS protection, rate limiting and hardened security headers
  • Real-time checks that flag suspicious payments

Example projects

What this looks like in practice.

Ad-traffic bot filter

The challenge
A paid advertising campaign was losing budget to bots, click farms and scrapers that never bought anything.
What was built
A high-speed filter in front of the landing page that checks every click and stops bots and data-centre traffic before they reach the offer – with automatically updated blocklists and a live traffic report.
The result
Only real visitors reached the offer page, and the advertiser could finally see how much of their traffic was fake.
  • Cloudflare
  • Edge filtering
  • Automated blocklists
  • Traffic reporting

High-speed edge traffic router

The challenge
A busy website needed strong bot protection without slowing down real visitors.
What was built
An in-memory traffic router combining Cloudflare edge filtering with application-level checks – rate limiting, hidden honeypots and browser-hint validation – plus background blocklist updates that need no restarts.
The result
Strong protection with no noticeable delay for real visitors, and continuous automated checks of security headers and site health.

Questions

Security, Bot & Fraud Protection: your questions answered.

What is click fraud?

Click fraud is when bots or fake users click your paid ads. You pay for those clicks, but they never become customers.

Will real customers be blocked?

Protection is tuned on your real traffic and reviewed regularly, so genuine visitors get through and suspicious traffic is filtered out.

Does this follow advertising network rules?

Yes. We filter, block and report invalid traffic. Every visitor who reaches your page sees the same page – we never show different content to ad reviewers or search engines.

Do I need a big budget for fraud detection?

No. We design cost-effective, serverless set-ups on AWS that grow with your transaction volume.
