    Hello.

    I created website on WordPress, and did not even started doing any SEM, also SEO is not that strong somebody will come to my site organic way. But in analysis I have information that people from Canada, USA etc. visited my site (https://imgur.com/a/WAgE3OI)

    And website is only in slovenian language, so its impossible. I think that are Bots which are crawling my site. So my question is how to remove them? Is there any way to do it on WordPress?

    Thanks in advance.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    – Use the built-in feature: Go to Settings > Reading and check the box next to Discourage search engines from indexing this site.

    – Use plugins: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search/block+spam+bots/

    Your screenshot is from Google Analytics, isn’t it? Normally no bots are counted there, only human visitors. If it’s a different tool, ask how it records the statistics for you. This is the only way to know for sure what kind of visitors you are dealing with.

    The first tip from @t-p would ensure that your site can no longer be found in Slovenia. I’m not sure whether this is what you want.

    If you only want visitors from Slovenia, you could also try setting up geo-blocking. You can find examples of plugins for this here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/block-country/ – note, however, that this may not be permitted depending on the legal conditions in your country. Find out about this before you set it up.
