The current 24-hour window split three ways. Scan-path requests are blocked at the edge and never counted as crawler traffic. Source: this server's own nginx access log, aggregated every five minutes. Snapshot 12 October 2026 12:00 UTC. Verify any figure against /live/ or /data/live.json.

What that includes

  • Requests whose user agent string matches no recognised search engine or AI crawler.
  • On a public site this is mostly ordinary automation: libraries, monitors, scrapers, scanners that did not use a known scan path.
  • It is published separately so it is never mistaken for search or AI traffic.

How to read this

  • How to check a number yourself. Every figure here is derived from this server's own nginx access log. The raw aggregate behind the page is public, so any number can be compared against its source instead of being taken on trust.

What this is not

  • One site only. This is a dated record of one small site, not a benchmark, an index or a projection.
  • Crawler identity is claimed, not proven. User agents can be spoofed, so unrecognised traffic stays unverified rather than being assigned to a named engine.
  • A crawl is not a citation. Being fetched is a precondition for being mentioned, never evidence of it.
  • Every figure is derived from this server's own access log. No third-party analytics are used, so there is no second set of numbers.
