Summary:

Here you will see a review of the traffic detected on your domain:

  • Total Valid Visits: the total number of valid visits that reached your site, after excluding the bad bots and invalid requests. These visits represent real users interacting with your site, and do not include known crawlers. 

  • Bad Bots & Invalid Requests: the total number of invalid traffic requests that reached your website and got excluded.

  • Known Crawlers: those are the good bots that visited your website, and were not excluded. Those crawlers perform a helpful or useful action and don’t hurt the user experience on your website while doing so.
