How to Detect Bots Using Behavioral Patterns

How to Detect Bots Using Behavioral Patterns

11.06.2025 5

Modern bots can spoof IPs and change user-agents, but they can’t fully mimic human behavior. That’s why behavioral pattern analysis is one of the most effective ways to detect fraud.

Behavioral signs of a bot:

  • session duration < 3 seconds;
  • no scrolling, clicks, or navigation;
  • repeated visits following the same route;
  • zero page depth (only one page);
  • evenly distributed visits across all hours.

How real users differ:

  • humans scroll, explore, switch tabs, and interact;
  • they return days/weeks later, not every 2 minutes;
  • they vary in device, browser, and source.

What to do:

  1. Use AntiClick to log and analyze session patterns.
  2. Identify who engages — and who doesn’t.
  3. Filter sessions with suspicious behavior templates.
  4. Auto-block untrusted traffic.
