Hi @Sincalp
Thank you for the screenshots! Yes, those are online bot tools attempting to scrape your customer facing website data.
Your store analytics may update within 48 hours to remove this type of traffic from your analytic reports to ensure you are receiving accurate customer data. You can read more about that here.
