Read 10,202 times. Visited twice.
The site looked dead. Thirty days of analytics, and the traffic arriving from AI came to two visits — one from ChatGPT, one from DuckDuckGo. Two. From a dashboard like that you would conclude that no AI has ever noticed the site exists. That conclusion is wrong by about ten thousand. Over the same thirty days, AI crawlers requested pages from that site 13,306 times, and 10,202 of those requests…
The site davaonline.net seemed inactive after 30 days of analytics, with only two AI-related visits. This seemingly contradictory result comes because AI crawlers and human visitors are being counted differently. A WordPress plugin called AILYS Lens was installed on the site to record only AI crawlers, providing a clearer view of the actual AI traffic.
Over the same period, AI crawlers requested 13,306 pages, with 10,202 of those requests specifically for content pages. This reveals that 3,104 of the requests were for files and robot-related information, which are not considered as AI reading the site. Additionally, only 2 humans arrived at the site through AI-driven answers during that month.
The data illustrates that AI crawlers are making repeated requests, while human visitors are less common. This highlights the importance of using appropriate tools to measure AI traffic accurately.
