Case studies

Instrumented sites, with the numbers published rather than described. Each case follows the same method: read the server logs directly, decide from evidence, and leave the measurement in place.

Net manufacturer · crawler monitoring

  • A manufacturer’s site with server-log crawler monitoring: no analytics product, no cookies, no client script.
  • What it showed: 824 recognised crawler visits in 24 hours at the time of writing, and seven-day engine totals led by Amazonbot and Bytespider.
  • English interface behind a token, so international teams and operators read the same numbers.

Our own network

  • The same instrumentation runs on this site, published in full: see /live/ for the twelve-panel view and /reports/ for how the figures are produced.
