# How does ClickGuard determine bot probability

ClickGuard estimates bot probability from how each visitor interacts with your website. Its tracking code measures clicks, mouse movement, scrolling and other interactions, and compares them with how real people behave. Visitors who act like automated scripts get a high bot probability, which ClickGuard uses to detect and block invalid traffic.

When you install the website tracking code on your landing page(s), ClickGuard is able to gauge the probability that the visitor is a bot.  
  
Our tracking code tracks a range of different site interaction metrics such as clicks, mouse movement, interaction with different elements on the page, typing, interactions with forms, and many more.  
  
The system can determine the probability that the visitor is a bot by combining all metrics into interaction patterns and running them through an intelligent algorithm. The output is a bot probability matrix:

-   **low probability:** the visitor is most likely not a bot
-   **medium probability:** the visitor is showing some characteristics of bot interaction, but not enough to consider them - a bot
-   **high probability:** the visitor is most likely a bot
