Hi, a few weeks ago i started er to notice suspicious traffic on my website from Poland, which make no sense cause my website is in italian language. I already tried to modify the htacces file in order to block the traffic from this specific country and it works for like 2 days and then it was traffic spam all over again. So I tried a plug-in (ip2location) but it was the same story. Anyone knows actually how to resolve a problem like this? Thank you.

install two plugins called Wordfence and cleantalk
Cloudflare, and then block entire countries or continents.
You want to block traffic on the DNS-Level. So put you website behind Cloudflare and block other countries that are not your target market.
Did you try some of the country blocking plugins, such as this one?

You’re not the only one. Tons of spam referrals coming in, mostly from Poland, on a couple of sites that I manage. Found some other Google forum threads opened talking about the issue too.
Try this:

I know everyone is recommending blocking this on the server via a plugin or CloudFlare but a bunch of this spam is against the Gtag measurement ID directly so that would not help in that case.
