One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals that should not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your site, or you can limit the access for an entire state. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also stay away from the chance of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
