    A server farm ... it hosts website servers.

    If you are getting visits from there then they are likely scraper bots looking for either content to rip off or emails to harvest.
    There are no human eyes using Digital Ocean LLC as an ISP.

    yes i am, thatīs why i asked, i was just checking why in so many visits in the site not any conversion, so i checked ipīs who visited
    and found visits of an ip that was from their servers, even a single "icon" they got it, i stayed like, "why a normal visitor will be checking this and why have been more than 7h in the site only checking contacts, reviews, images, iconīs, logos of the promoted brands...." only these kind of things

    after that, i blocked that ip adress, from range x to y but i made a re-check and received of other different ipīs but always related with them.

    this part i dont know how to solve or block them without be always checking it.

    Also, or they have someone that works there with account at gpwa or they also do this a lot here, coz in google analytics appeared that the ip xxx found the site through gpwa referal

    Getting the referral from here means they spidered the GPWA first and saw YOUR link here and followed the link to your site.

    Yes.
    so it means that they can also be spidering GPWA and try "steal" content from here?
    on my side, i already checked their ipīs and blocked them all
