The site’s traffic is overwhelmingly driven by bots and crawlers, with only a small fraction of visits coming from humans, nearly all of which originate outside Switzerland. While the site remains popular with automated visitors and the developer, it has yet to attract a genuine human readership.
Last month, the site attracted a grand total of 38,587 visits, a figure that sounds impressive until you realize that 31,443 of those were bots and crawlers, leaving a more modest 7,144 visits from actual humans.
Of those human visits, a mere 52 came from logged-in users, and every single one of those was from the developer account used for quality control. Not a single other registered user bothered to log in, which suggests our user base is either deeply shy or entirely theoretical.
The bot fan club is led by Bingbot with 11,478 visits, followed closely by Semrushbot at 9,641, and a growing appreciation from AI crawlers like ClaudeBot and ChatGPT-User, who together accounted for over 4,500 visits. These digital admirers are clearly devouring our content with machine-like enthusiasm.
We consider all traffic from outside Switzerland as dubious, which means a staggering 99.1 percent of our human-labeled traffic is suspect. The top sources of this probably-not-human traffic include the United States with 3,966 visits, Singapore with 517, and the United Kingdom with 334. Only 323 visits came from within Switzerland, where we might generously assume a few actual people stumbled upon the site.
The most popular pages remain a mystery, but the overall picture is clear: the site is very popular among bots and the main developer, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to actual human readers. After all, most humans search for their answers with AI anyway, so having a bot-and-crawler fan club might, in the long term, be more important for the site than loyal human readers. We still hope to attract human readers interested in data-driven stories to gather ideas for their own human-written stories.
