In this episode, we dive into the challenges of managing excessive bot traffic on Drupal sites using faceted search. Bots crawling every combination of filters can generate an overwhelming number of unique URLs, increasing server load and even impacting hosting costs. Enter the Facet Bot Blocker module — a lightweight solution that empowers site administrators to control and limit facet-related bot activity without the need for a full-blown web application firewall. We explore how the module works, its key features, real-world use cases, and how it helps protect your site's performance and budget. Whether you're running a high-traffic commerce site or managing complex data filters, this episode offers valuable insights into efficient bot mitigation within the Drupal ecosystem.
