## Description
Installing **Analytics Spam Blocker** is a must-have for any WordPress and ClassicPress website that collects visitor analytics with something like Matomo Analytics, Google Analytics or similar tools. Accurate analytics are often vital to track your website's performance or just to see how many visitors you get.

With **Analytics Spam Blocker** you can easily add new domains that you find and you'll receive weekly updates in the background with new domains as well. Stop those sites from affecting your website analytics today!
