Pages viewed/clicked per second. Some sites contain tiny little links that no human should every click, but a bot might. Others get more advanced by comparing visors. If a group of visitors all display the same pattern (think near identical behavior) then they are bots.

There are lots of other ways used as well. Client-side JavaScript that tracks mouse movement, for example. A combination of all of these combined with ML models give surprisingly accurate results.
