VerifiedVisitors is a bank grade AI/ML bot mitigation platform built from the ground up to support the WordPress community.
How does it work?
By deploying our agent, VerifiedVisitors helps to protect your web estate from unwanted and malicious bot traffic using the plugin init hook to verify visitors and block unwanted or potentially malicious traffic. 
Our intelligent detectors examine thousands of diverse security signals, separate out the legitimate bots and users from the malicious ones by learning from your traffic. 
Our customers receive security protection from malicious bot activity such as account takeover, credit card attacks, and content scraping, and we can help save you valuable energy resources on web hosting, bandwidth, and CPU. 
All the bot detection and mitigation happens at the earliest part of the visitors journey – the plugin takes minutes to install. Setup is simple, typically our customers are up and running in minutes, not days. 
With VerifiedVisitors you will be able to manage all the bots visiting your site, set your bot access list, and automate mitigation through the VerifiedVisitors dashboard. 
If you use AWS CloudFront or Cloudflare you can install VerifiedVisitors at the edge of network by starting your journey at https://app.verifiedvisitors.com/register
What does it cost?
All new accounts automatically get access to our Standard Tier FREE for up to 30 days so you can experience the product for yourselves! We charge on a monthly subscription basis, based on total web request volume for your account, with overages available for all tiers except our Basic tier for ad-hoc burst usage. 
We have a low cost basic tier for accounts with less than 1M web requests per month for $99 per month.
