Automated Bots Chew Up 83 Percent of Most SMB Website Traffic, New Research Reveals
In a Survey of More Than 1,000 SMB Websites*, Incapsula Finds That Sites With Under 2,500 Monthly Visitors See Mostly Automated Bot Traffic With Half of It Potentially Malicious
(firmenpresse) - REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/15/12 -- Incapsula, a cloud-based website security and performance service, today announced new research that reveals that for websites with less than 2,500 monthly visitors, more than 83 percent of traffic is non-human and 49 percent poses serious security threats to small businesses. This research follows a recent Incapsula that found 31 percent of website traffic is malicious to sites with 50,000 to 100,000 monthly visitors.
"When analyzing smaller websites, it is clear that the automated, non-human traffic is significantly higher as a percentage of overall Web visitors than for medium to larger sites and this can have massive performance and security impact," says Marc, Gaffan Co-Founder, Incapsula. "Most small businesses rely on web hosting companies that sell fixed-cost shared hosting services with unlimited plans. However, the more websites the hosting provider adds to the server -- in an attempt to increase overall utilization and drive more revenue -- the more the server's utilization decreases due to the increase in Bot traffic."
Small website owners' page load times are increased by more than 50 percent;
a site when load times exceed 4 seconds;
negatively;
Shared hosting providers can lose over 50 percent of their server capacity to automated Bot traffic.
