About the Extension

With our app you can restrict and block external access to your shop.

Unlike robots.txt, access protection is based on defined IP addresses and regex, which prevent bots from bypassing. This results in a hard block that cannot be ignored.


There are 2 ways to set up the block:


  • Specification of known IPs or IP address ranges using WildCards
    • Blocks access from defined IP addresses
    • E.g.: 123.45.*.78 (* means all numbers)
  • UserAgent specification using RegEx
    • Primarily used to block unwanted bots
    • E.g.: /GPTBot/


Blocking users is advisable if a buyer has made a negative impression on your site, for example, or if there is a risk that a person is attempting to attack your site.

Blocked users who attempt to access your site receive a ‘The page does not work’ message from the browser they are using instead of the typical 404 frontend. Therefore, there is no information about the blocking for the respective user.

The app contains info blocks in the backend that help you set up the blocking.
But be careful! Avoid blocking all bots in order to prevent important SEO crawling programs such as the Google bot from accessing your site.
To be safe, we therefore recommend that you always carry out the setup with an IT specialist.

Other planned features:

  • Intelligent identification of bots, which will then be automatically blocked
