Case Study: KnifeCenter achieves optimized user experience and protected content with DataDome

KnifeCenter.com protects its content and website performance with DataDome

KnifeCenter.com, the leading online catalog for cutlery, shaving and security since 1995, was regularly targeted by web scraping, credential-stuffing and sustained DDoS attacks that degraded site performance and forced time-consuming manual mitigation. After evaluating several options, KnifeCenter selected DataDome’s bot protection solution (deployed via the Cloudflare app) to address content theft, login/tokenization attacks and traffic slowdowns.

DataDome was implemented quickly through the Cloudflare integration with a short onboarding and easy dashboard customizations. The result: overall bot traffic is significantly reduced, sustained DDoS attacks have stopped impacting the site, false positives are negligible, and the team no longer needs manual IP blocking—freeing time and server resources while ensuring consistent site performance. DataDome’s real-time reporting also gives KnifeCenter clear visibility into blocked scraping and attack attempts.
