Prevent Bots accessing domain
Hello,
how can I prevent bots crawling my page? They are trying to reach sites, which I don't use anyway but it's annoyning and also the traffic goes up.
Appreciate any help.

FYI: I don't use Wordpress
Do I perhaps need the Pro plan for my domian to protect against it?
There are always bots lurking around in the web. They knock on every domain, IP address, and port constantly looking for security holes.
Most of them are rudimentary and try all exploits randomly, including ones for applications unrelated to your project, such as Wordpress or PHP.
These bots learn about your domains (including
.workers.dev and .pages.dev) near-instantly using Certificate Transparency logs, which cannot be disabled and are always issued (even on non-Cloudflare platforms).
Some options to help reduce the noise from these bots:
- Disable .workers.dev
- Redirect .pages.dev
- Enable Managed Rulesets (requires Pro plan or above)Is the protection with Pro better?
Or do I need an business/enterprise subscription to have a better protection against bots
