Did any of you notice a spike in traffic to your app/website/blog on 19, 20 and/or 21 May?
Is my built-in traffic tracking (Awstats) possibly not very reliable?
On 19 May my blog got 2.5x of a whole month's traffic (750 "unique visitors") and on 20 and 21 each got a whole month's traffic (~300 visitors).
The last new post at that point had been on 14 May, so no brand new content.
Usually the majority of visitors are Windows users. Suddenly in May Macintosh surges ahead to majority of traffic.
Could those unique visitors be OpenClaws running on MacMinis perhaps?
For context:
I write a regular blog about financial markets, geopolitics, and tech. No subscriptions or comments - just a basic HTML page with some charts and text.
According to Awstats I get 250-300 unique visitors per month.
I have shared it with < 10 close friends and family. At most 2-3 people I know regularly read it.
I have a Twitter account for it with 13 followers where I re-post the articles I write as Tweet-threads. The views on the individual Tweets are probably in the 10-20 views range.
Would be great to hear if anyone else had a random traffic spike on those days and what might be behind it.
Thanks
