FirstFrame Bot Blocker

Stop card-testing bots before they reach your cart.

Bot Blocker spots robot-controlled browsers and visits from data centres and proxies. It shows you what it would block first, then blocks them, with an "I'm a person" button so real shoppers on a VPN are never stuck.

Watch first, then block

Start in "Watch only": nobody is blocked and you see exactly who would have been, network by network. Switch on blocking when the numbers look right.

Robot-controlled browsers

Card testers and scrapers drive real browsers by software, often with no screen. The browser gives itself away, and those visits are stopped before they can add to cart.

Data centres and proxies

Real shoppers browse from home, mobile and office internet. Bots rent servers from cloud companies. Apple's iCloud Private Relay and phone networks are never flagged.

Real shoppers get through

A shopper on a VPN can press and hold "I'm a person" to continue, and you can allow any network with one click. Checks fail open, never closed.

Google and AI assistants welcome

Search engines, shopping ads, social previews, AI shopping assistants and speed tests are never checked, so your listings are unaffected.

Light and private

One small script and one check per visit, after the page has loaded for normal shoppers. Visitor IP addresses are never stored. No access permissions to your store data.
