The Internet & WebInternet Traffic

Half the Internet Is Robots

Nearly half of all web traffic is not human

Right now, a crowd is browsing your favorite website. About half of that crowd has never had a heartbeat. What do they want?

You'll find out

  • Which visitors aren't people at all
  • How a website tells who's who
  • Why some bots are welcome guests

Why it matters

Bots decide what search finds, who gets the concert tickets, and why you keep having to prove you're human.
