Also interested in any CDN that has decent server-side analytics. It seems like it wouldn't be hard to at least make an attempt to exclude bot requests from the results -- filtering out the main AWS-owned (and other cloud providers) CIDRs alone would go a long way I'm sure
- marvinblum 6y agoMost cloud providers provide access to an CIDR list.

I could be wrong though
