Live view digest — 3 November 2026
4,372 requests in the current window went to paths only a scanner would ask for, and were blocked at the edge. They are published separately so they never inflate the crawler figures.
Blocked at the edge
Why this is reported
- What the day-by-day strip shows. Each bar is one day of the current week, from the same log and the same rules. Comparing days is the honest way to read a young site: a single spike says little, a persistent change says a lot.
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.
