One of the most reliable ways to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of those that should not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also stay away from the possibility of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
