Summary
Adds a Navigation Path row to the Recommended Practices table in the bot detection overview: don't navigate straight to a deep URL or login page — start at the home page and click through, the way a real user would.
Deep-linking with no referrer or prior page views is a signal detection systems weigh, and it's a common pitfall that isn't covered elsewhere in the guide.
Single-row docs change, no code affected.
Note
Low Risk
Single-row documentation update with no runtime or security impact.
Overview
Adds a Navigation Path row to the Recommended Practices table in the bot detection overview. The guidance tells automations to start at the site home page and click through instead of opening deep links or login URLs directly, because missing referrers and prior page views look unlike normal users and can trigger detection.
No application code changes—documentation only.
