One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those that mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your site, or you could limit the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
