AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Booter – Bots & Crawlers Manager is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Security category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 12 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Booter – Bots & Crawlers Manager works
Show full descriptionShow less
Booter – Bots & Crawlers Manager is a preventative measure (treatment in advance) and treatment of damages caused by crawlers and bots.
The plugin uses a number of existing technologies which are known by crawlers and bots and takes them one step forward – smartly and almost completely automatically.
To allow the plugin to function correctly, you must follow the instructions and manually enter some data (which must be done by a human being to avoid errors).
The plugin includes local bot and referrer lists and does not fetch these lists from external services.
At the prevention level
Booter allows you to manage and create an advanced dynamic robots.txt file.
View a 404 error log to see the most common bad links.
Blocking bad bots that cause high server loads due to very frequent page crawls, or are used to search for security vulnerabilities.
At the treatment level
Booter allows you to limit the amount of requests from crawlers and bots, if or when they exceed the specified amount of requests per minute, it will be rejected for a specified period of time.
Rejecting links that we do not want in the fastest way, not by just blocking but by sending the appropriate HTTP status code to make search engines forget them.
Instructions for use in case of damage treatment

Enable the 404 error log option.
