Bot scrapers are used by many online retailers as a way to collect data from competing sites so you can come up with ways to stay ahead in a market that imposes many challenges. This problem is also well known at SPORTSBIKESHOP.

Akamai Bot Manager effectively detects bot traffic and mitigates malicious bots on the edge, all without impacting user experiences. This solution protects apps and customer resources, no matter how or where users choose to interact with them.

Another integrated solution from the site to optimize its performance is Akamai Image & Video Manager. This solution helps the site to automatically optimize and improve visual media content for each user on any device, allowing you to navigate all channels and devices with media content adapted for responsive designs.

“I’m excited about our partnership, which has helped protect us from the most malicious bots. Thanks to the hard work of the two teams, I can feel comfortable knowing that I have protected our company in the best possible way. I truly see Akamai and Defenx as an extension of our team and look forward to continuing to work with them to ensure our company’s lasting success” said Mark Buckley, technical director of SPORTSBIKESHOP.
