    Hello,

    I know many people use captcha to prevent bots from parsing website.
    But how do you find out if there are bots visiting your site?
    Google analytics sure doesn't tell.

    Thank you.

    if you have access to the log files from your site just open these or use a web log analyzing software to open them and analyze them.
    Some web hosting companies provide an online analyzing tool so maybe check your web hosting company if they provide such a service.
