“Requests Through Cloudflare” from several countries

Hello
Any one can help me with this:

Today I received an email from cloudflare detailing the countries from which my domains received requests.


It’s normal that I have up to 57k request from countries like Netherlands or Sweden (1k requests ) and India (2K), US (7K) .... in which I have never done any campaign?

Could be a bot, or image hotlinking (other sites linking to your images).

See here how to block hotlinking:

Cloudflare lists Ireland as one of my top countries, but that's because I use Cookiebot as a CMP and they crawl the sites once per month. They hit every single page and the IPs are from AWS in Ireland, and this is a legit situation. Sometimes bot traffic is legit but it will still show up in your Cloudflare stats. Just something to be aware of.

I hope this helps!
