Precheck: Prefilter Malicious Bots

Precheck serves an invisible challenge that blocks bots at the edge, on the first request—before they hit your site. Human users see a quick, customizable animation and then proceed as normal. 

Benefits of Precheck

Precheck prevents distributed bot armies from getting a single request through to
your application server.
Block bad bots before they land on your site
Bad bots are blocked at the edge on the first request, before they can access a single page.
Minimize friction to website visitors
Invisible challenge does not require any interaction from the end user—no more CAPTCHAs.
Customize user experience
Precheck’s animation is easily customizable to your brand, so you can control your user experience. 

How it Works

Precheck displays a quick logo animation before users are directed through to a site. It is enabled on HUMAN’s bot management solutions by default, but it will only execute on certain protected paths.

Identify suspicious traffic
When a request that is missing a cookie hits the Enforcer on a protected path, the Enforcer sends it to Precheck.
Serve invisible challenge
Precheck runs behind the scenes to test the requestor’s device, while users only see a quick, customizable animation.
Block malicious bots at the edge

Bots that fail the invisible challenge are blocked before the request hits the application server.

Allow good traffic
After seeing the quick animation, human requests are allowed to proceed to the application server.
