Visitors Protected
Total unique visitors who browsed your store during this period. This is also used for your billing calculation.
Protection Events
Times content protection was triggered:

High numbers here mean people are trying to steal your content - protection is working!

Automated visitors caught:
- Scrapers collecting your data
- Price monitoring bots
- Automated crawlers (excluding search engines)
Spy Tool Detections
Competitor spy tools found:
- PPSPY users
- Koala Inspector users
- Other analysis tools
IP Blocks
Visitors prevented from accessing based on:
- Blocked IP addresses
- Blocked countries
- VPN/Datacenter blocking

Common Questions
"Why did my numbers spike?"
Check for:
- Bot attack (many events from few IPs)
- Viral content (more visitors = more events)
- Holiday traffic increase
- New competitor monitoring you
"Why are my numbers low?"
Could mean:
- Low traffic (normal for new stores)
- No threat activity (good news!)
- Protection not active (check settings)
- Issue with tracking (contact support)
"What's a healthy number?"
Depends on your traffic:
- Protection events: 1-5% of visitors is normal
- Bot detections: 0.5-2% is typical
- Spy tools: Occasional detections are normal
"Should I be worried about high numbers?"
Not necessarily:
- High numbers mean protection is working
- Focus on blocking persistent threats
- Investigate unusual spikes
