Live view digest — 15 October 2026
ChatGPT-User shows up in the current 24-hour window with 164 requests and had not appeared in any previous daily aggregate for this site.
The new arrival
- A first appearance means the crawler found the site on its own or followed a link; nothing here was submitted by hand.
- One day of activity says little. What matters is whether it returns, and whether it fetches pages that are meant to be found.
- It is still only a crawl: no citation, ranking or traffic follows automatically.
| Crawler | Requests | Share of named crawler traffic |
|---|---|---|
| 478 | 20.4% | |
| ClaudeBot | 450 | 19.2% |
| meta-externalagent | 289 | 12.4% |
| Bing | 188 | 8.0% |
| ChatGPT-User | 164 | 7.0% |
| OAI-SearchBot | 163 | 7.0% |
| Bytespider | 159 | 6.8% |
| Applebot | 158 | 6.8% |
| CCBot | 147 | 6.3% |
| Amazonbot | 142 | 6.1% |
How to read this
- What 'unmatched' means. Unmatched requests are those whose user agent does not match a recognised search engine or AI crawler. On a public site almost all of them are ordinary automation: scanners, libraries, monitoring, scrapers. They are published as a separate number precisely so they are not mistaken for search traffic.
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.
