Hi friends & expert. I am frustrated with bots. My VPS server security is tight (as per hosting provider & mine google research). Using wordfence plugin in my wordpress website & optimized it. I have not been hacked yet (Thanks God for this + I make regular back ups too), but very frustrated with bots.
Bots from hackers/spammers are troubling me. Below are the cases:
1) Every day I see lots of login attempts & IP blocked via my wordfence report.
2) I guess due to this reason My google analytics data is full with bots related data. Thinking about using a new analytics account.
3) Getting 10-20 comments spam everyday.
4) Getting 20+ spam emails via contact form. (Little reduced after using google's recaptcha, but not 100% stopped)
Any expert who has faced similar situation, plz give me some recommendations.
P.S: I am specialty worried about my google analytics data. I have run ads before & among them some data like website visits etc. are real. I feared I will lose them & thus can not retarget them. May be wrong as these data might be stored in google adwords records.
