Traffic Distribution

Comparison of separately measured AI crawler requests, human AI referrals, and other connected traffic sources.

What is Traffic Distribution?

Traffic Distribution compares signals collected through different mechanisms: classified AI user-agent requests from server logs, human sessions attributed to AI referrers in analytics, and other connected traffic. The categories should remain separate because they have different units, coverage, and retention. A crawler share does not indicate indexing, while an AI referral session is evidence of a human visit attributed by the analytics source.

How Qwairy Makes This Actionable

Qwairy compares crawler observations with AI referral and other connected page signals while preserving each source’s connection and coverage status.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no universal optimal split, and crawler requests are not directly comparable with human sessions as a conversion funnel. Use the comparison to form hypotheses, then validate them with direct citation evidence, referral quality, and business outcomes.

There is no reliable universal timeline. Crawl schedules, monitored-answer refreshes, platform citations, and human referral behavior change independently. Record the intervention date and compare complete, equivalent periods while keeping each source’s coverage caveats visible.

Do not add crawler requests and human referral sessions into one traffic percentage without explaining their different units. Evaluate human AI referrals with engagement and conversion metrics, and evaluate crawler observations separately for access patterns and HTTP health.
