Sep 1–Oct 1 2026 (Oct 1 partial, 17:52 UI); launched 28 September

Requests and distinct IPs are not people. Netlify counts can include crawlers, repeated requests, previews, tests and our own audit. New aggregate counters separately classify recognizable crawlers, respect DNT/GPC, and keep validation traffic separate. They store no IPs, visitor IDs, raw referrers, query strings or submitted text. Browser-like requests can still include bots. Feed polling is not proof of a subscriber. Do not sum metrics with different units, periods or overlapping audiences.

Impact’s large pageview total is dominated by automated traffic. Netlify classified about 99% of the past week’s HTTP requests as crawlers. See the evidence and scope.

What is tracked

Projects-hub destination links carry campaign labels identifying hub referrals. Separate browser-reported project-link clicks are now counted on the hub, including its related/source links. Arrival labels identify hub referrals at tracked destinations. Live aggregate request counters cover selected resources and classify referral sources; Calendar-file and organizer-link clicks are now counted, along with public event-page requests. These signals show intent; calendar subscriptions and attendance remain unverified. Successful game completion, audio play and useful tool outputs still need their own outcome measurements. Browser-reported clicks can be missed or automated, and do not establish completion. The Impact directory’s large request total also needs a page/bot breakdown before judging readership, particularly with its single-page fallback.

The personal website’s Netlify report is now verified. Its aggregate snapshot appears below; the live counter covers selected public landing routes. A missing client-side tag does not imply zero visits. Netlify Web Analytics covers pages and paths on sites where its report has been verified.

Official Google Analytics email snapshots, not fresh exports. The writing book’s literature-review chapter had 23 views. The older microeconomics report needs reconciliation with its live legacy tag.

Priority improvements

  1. Retain chapter/page breakdowns from the personal website’s verified platform report. Follow hub referrals through to destination arrivals.
  2. Measure useful actions: game completion, audio play, tool output and calendar-link clicks. A subscription-link click does not prove a subscribed calendar.
  3. Compare complete monthly windows after the recent search-indexing changes. Add contextual links and a clear next action before rewriting older pages.

Why the Impact directory total is large

Automated crawling dominates this traffic. On 5 October, Netlify’s last-seven-days HTTP-request breakdown showed approximately 72,800 crawler requests, versus 125 browser-category requests (about 99% crawlers). These are all-content requests in a different window from the monthly pageview snapshot; browser-category requests are not verified people.

The Sep 5–Oct 5 pageview snapshot had 241,833 HTML responses and 559 distinct IPs. About 83% of those responses were attributed to Finland and 99.7% to direct traffic. Location and lack of a referrer do not identify the requester. The missing favicon also appeared as an HTML “page” 794 times.

The site’s former catch-all rewrite returned its homepage with HTTP 200 even for a nonexistent URL and /wp-admin/. Netlify counts successful HTML responses as pageviews, so automated requests to missing paths could inflate this figure. Routing now returns 404 for unrecognised paths outside the application’s route families, and the favicon is served as an SVG. Valid organisation/offering deep links remain available; invalid slugs within those families still need further validation. These fixes affect future counts, not historical totals. Use the live counters’ browser-like/crawler split and meaningful-use events to assess uptake; the selected-route counter excludes organisation/offering pages and does not establish the monthly human share.

Which crawlers?

These are self-declared names, not verified operators. The checked local importers identify themselves as ImpactDirectoryBot and fetch external sources; their code does not crawl this catalogue. Monitoring and audits add a small amount of traffic. Ordinary public links and the sitemap can make this site discoverable to outside indexers; no person needs to select this directory for each crawl.

Signals of useful activity

The directory now records deliberate browser search submissions, filter changes, organisation/offering opens, and outgoing website/evidence clicks. An engaged page load reports the first such action once in a loaded tab. These counters save no search text, item IDs, cookies or persistent visitor IDs; they honor DNT/GPC and exclude labelled tests. They are stronger use signals than HTML requests, but automated browsers, repeat loads, passive reading and opted-out visitors limit what they establish. Outgoing clicks do not prove purchases or donations. AI-agent retrieval may also indicate indirect use and should be examined separately from bulk indexing.

Public destination inventory

Priority 1 combines relevance, known traffic and active public use. Unknown means unmeasured, not zero. Only approved public destinations are linked; this is not an exhaustive list of every article or historical page.

Snapshots: authenticated platform reports and official analytics summaries. Dates and scope accompany each figure. Historical snapshots require a new export; the request counters refresh automatically. Raw evidence and the wider working inventory remain private.
