Traffic & readers

People are counted by an in-page beacon that crawlers rarely run; every other client is sorted from the web server's access log. Numbers are UTC days.

all time

Why the numbers differ from Cloudflare or hosting dashboards: those count every request, and most requests to a news site come from machines — AI crawlers (OpenAI, Meta, Amazon, Perplexity…), search engines and SEO tools. They are useful for visibility but are not readers. A reader here is a browser that actually ran the page. Nothing identifying is stored: the beacon uses session storage, and addresses are only hashed in memory for half an hour to avoid double counting.
