How it works
From visit to verdict.
See how b8t identifies, verifies, and handles malicious traffic—without impacting real visitors.
Traffic arrives
When a visitor hits your site, the request passes through b8t's edge layer. This happens before your server responds—completely invisible to the visitor.
Signals combine
Edge-layer intelligence and client SDK signals merge into a unified view. This gives b8t more evidence than either layer could provide alone.
Scoring and verification
Traffic is scored based on collected signals. Suspicious traffic goes through optional verification—catching bots while keeping real visitors moving seamlessly.
Divert and monetize
Confirmed bots are diverted into controlled monetization paths. This funds the protection layer while making malicious automation economically irrational.
You get clean data
Your analytics reflect real visitors only. Bot detection events flow to GA4, BigQuery, or your dashboard—ready for IVT refund reports.
The full pipeline
Frequently asked questions
Does b8t add latency?
No. b8t operates at the edge before your server responds. Real visitors experience zero measurable delay. The SDK loads asynchronously and doesn't block page render.
What about privacy?
b8t is designed with privacy in mind. We don't store personal data, don't use invasive tracking, and our detection signals are processed for scoring only—not profiling.
How accurate is detection?
b8t achieves 99.2% accuracy with a 0.05% false positive rate. The two-layer architecture and verification step help ensure real visitors aren't mistaken for bots.
Do you support IVT refunds?
Yes. b8t provides GA4 integration, Looker Studio templates, and BigQuery export to help you generate invalid traffic reports for ad platform refunds.
Is it really free?
Yes. b8t is free for site owners. The service is funded through controlled monetization of confirmed malicious traffic—making the protection self-sustaining.
