Google Analytics / Cpanel gets spam hostnames

Over the past few weeks, I have seen many 00:00:00 sessions from spam servers. I want to not only block them in Google Analytics, but also in cPanel, if possible.

If someone knows the best way to remove all spamming hostnames, please share.

Block spam traffic from Google Analytics

You can use a combination of 2 filters to stop all spam in Google analytics:

  • A valid host name filter that takes care of all phantom spam in any form (referral, organic or fake direct visit)
  • Campaign source filter with an expression created with all known scanner spammers.

As an additional feature, you can enable the built-in function "Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders", this option will exclude all traffic from bots / crawlers that are not spam, but they also do not visit people.

Block spam traffic from cPanel

You can use IP Deny Manager in cPanel to block spam referrals.

This is my sound too easy, but you can just put off the call

ga('send', 'pageview') //May look different due to different Goggle Analytics Code

for 50 ms-1s. This will allow recording only those users who remain at least 50 ms-1. I don't know what will be the best timing, but this seems to be an easy way to do this.
