    Hi, I wasn’t able to finde an answer by searching the web, I just installed Wordfence and have the impression that some enervating crawlers already left my internet presence without having blocked anything by myself. So… does Wordfence already block certain crawlers, scrapers and bots automaticaly and can I see a kind of list?

  • Hi,
    By default Wordfence doesn’t block crawlers, if you want to make sure if Wordfence blocked any of the crawlers from accessing your website or not please go to (Wordfence > Live Traffic) and filter the traffic by “Blocked” or “Blocked by Firewall” and watch for crawlers in results there.

    It’s recommended also to check options under (Wordfence > Options => Rate Limiting Rules), that’s where you can control crawlers accessing your website.

    Thanks.
