TLDR: The solution is for the web crawler to just scan all your webpages. Mine has stopped on my end as I don’t have that many pages. Mine stopped at around 127 Singapore views.
@JJL Technically no but annoying, Bytespider is another ‘bad’ bot (you can google a list of bad bots that webcrawl websites, it’s common), that’s why it’s not being detected through Google Analytics and Country Blocker shopify apps if you block singapore visitor traffic
In shopify go to:
Analytics > Reports > Sessions by location > on the right you’ll see 3 column icon > check device browser
And you can see Singapore will have Bytespider or maybe another name for the web crawler in that column.
My visitors have stopped because I don’t have that many pages on my site. The webcrawler will stop once it scans all your webpages on your site
Since google analytics is NOT detecting singapore, GA doesn’t recognise it as a real or bot from a computer. This Bytespider is crawling all my website’s webpage 1 by 1.
No visitor traffic blockers will stop it. I have used ‘BM: Country blocker IP blocker’ and it does work as I tested my own country, Australia, but because the webcrawler isn’t coming from let’s say a specific source like a human would, it’s not being detected. If it’s bypassing google analytics, it will bypass any traffic blocking apps.
