One of the most effective methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that should not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your site, or you can restrict the access for an entire country. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also avoid the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
