    I’ve added bot/ to the table and it is by far the most blocked bot entry on my site. (I’m trying to decrease CPU load on my server) What is bot/ and should I be blocking it?

    Thanks!

    Hi
    Only bot is dangerous string to add to your table. Probably will block, for example, google bot.
    You need take a look your file log visits and check which bots are creating the problem. Then, get their user agent and add the string in your table.
    Request support to your hosting to help you to work with your visits log if necessary.
    Some bots supply fake user agent. In this case, you need block them by ip number. Request support to your hosting if necessary. If you use cPanel, you will find one tool to block ip to access your site.
    Cheers,
    Bill
