- 2 Not reviewing blocked traffic logs — regular reviews help you catch false positives and discover new threat patterns
- 3 Setting up blocking once and forgetting it — threat patterns change, and your garden store's rules should evolve with them
- 4 Ignoring the analytics impact — blocking bad traffic improves your data quality, but only if you re-baseline your metrics after implementation
