All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI

[Bob Schroeck]

Are they pulling dumps or just hitting random pages? Dumps would indicate knowledge of the project , but random page hits may just be a scraper trying to suck up as much data as possible.

It's hard to establish a clear connection with the data on the Analytics page. What I can see on a 31-day report doesn't really make much sense -- 650 visits from UHRS since the beginning of December, but nearly 40,000 visits that only looked at one page. All the usage figures are really crazy -- for instance, between 12/25 and 12/29 we were getting something like 3000 hits a day, but before and after there were big "valleys" in the data -- and we had three such peaks and valleys after 12/12, before which our daily usage was half that.

Anyway, best as I can figure from what little we can actually see on the report, UHRS doesn't seem to grabbing big blocks of pages -- but we've had way more traffic in the back half of the month than we normally get.
