BotRefund’s Bot‑Traffic Detection Signals

BotRefund examines a mix of behavioral and network signals—like ghost clicks, honeypot traps, linear mouse paths, super‑fast inputs, grid‑aligned movement, missing engagement, odd session lengths, and suspicious ports—to spot bot traffic.

Built for advertisers who need clear, refund-ready traffic evidence.

Key signals BotRefund analyzes

BotRefund looks at more than 100 independent checks. The most critical categories are:

  • Ghost click detection – catches clicks that occur without the natural sequence of human intent.
  • Trap behavior (honeypot) – watches for bots that interact with hidden or deliberately deceptive page elements.
  • Pointer behavior – flags unnaturally straight mouse paths that rarely appear in real user sessions.
  • Motion behavior – looks for the tiny imperfections and jitter typical of human movement; their absence suggests automation.
  • Speed behavior – identifies interactions that happen faster than a person could realistically perform (under 1 ms).
  • Path behavior – detects grid‑aligned movement patterns that snap to precise lines instead of natural curves.
  • Engagement behavior – highlights sessions that stay too static, with no clicks or scrolling, to match a real browsing journey.
  • Session behavior – catches visit lengths that are too short, too long, or too uniform to be human.
  • Network signals – such as suspicious ports, which reveal mismatches between connection details, location, language and timing that a genuine browser would not normally create.
  • Monitor sync anomaly – looks for timing and interaction mismatches that scripts struggle to reproduce, indicating automated activity.

Each signal on its own is not a verdict; BotRefund’s AI cross‑checks them together to reach a high‑confidence decision.
