GA4 automatically excludes traffic from known bots and spiders, but it doesn't catch sophisticated invalid traffic: proxies, headless browsers and human-like automation. Didva detects bot traffic on your paid sessions, scores it, and helps you isolate it so GA4 reports reflect real campaign performance.

The problem

Because GA4's built-in filtering only covers known bots, sophisticated invalid traffic flows straight into your reports. It inflates sessions and engagement, skews conversion rates, and makes paid campaigns look better or worse than they really are.
