What are the recommended bot sensitity levels for an eCommerce site versus a lead generation site?

Click Buddha allows you to adjust bot detection sensitivity based on your website type.
Different websites have different user behaviors, so tuning these thresholds helps minimize false positives while effectively blocking malicious traffic.

Recommended Sensitivity for eCommerce Sites

eCommerce websites usually have higher user interaction with multiple clicks, scrolling, and form submissions.

  • Minimum Engagement Time: 5–8 seconds

  • Maximum Clicks Per Second: 5–8 clicks

  • Maximum Keystrokes Per Second: 5–8 keystrokes

  • Maximum Paste Per Second: 2–3 pastes

  • Minimum Mouse Movement Threshold: 10–15 pixel per seconds

  • Maximum Mouse Movement Threshold: 5000–7000 pixel per seconds

These settings prevent blocking genuine shoppers while detecting automated bots attempting fake purchases or clicks.

Recommended Sensitivity for Lead Generation Sites

Lead Gen websites generally have longer form fills and fewer clicks overall.

  • Minimum Engagement Time: 8–12 seconds

  • Maximum Clicks Per Second: 3–5 clicks

  • Maximum Keystrokes Per Second: 3–5 keystrokes

  • Maximum Paste Per Second: 1–2 pastes

  • Minimum Mouse Movement Threshold: 100–200 pixel per seconds

  • Maximum Mouse Movement Threshold: 4000–5000 pixel per seconds

These stricter settings help block fake form submissions and spam bots without affecting real leads.


Tip:

  • Start with these recommended settings, then refine based on real user interaction patterns.

  • Combine with Form Protection and VPN/Proxy Security for complete website protection.
