Case Study: Rue du Commerce achieves a bot-free, ultra-fast e-commerce site and 30–40% bandwidth reduction with DataDome

Rue du Commerce - Customer Case Study

Rue du Commerce, a long‑standing French e‑commerce marketplace now part of the Carrefour group, was suffering from denial‑of‑service, extensive scraping and server overload caused by malicious bots that made up about 30% of site traffic. To protect performance and user experience they adopted DataDome’s bot management solution.

DataDome was deployed by Rue du Commerce’s teams with vendor support—whitelisting partners, scrubbing bot lists, customizing CAPTCHAs, protecting endpoints and creating real‑time custom rules (e.g., CAPTCHAs for non‑France traffic and an allow rule for Fasterize). As a result DataDome blocked attacks and scraping, cut bandwidth consumption by 30–40%, freed resources for real users, and helped Rue du Commerce climb to #1 in France’s fastest mobile e‑commerce site ranking, with a real‑time dashboard for ongoing control.
