Back in 2009 I wondered about network traffic. Decided to take another look. Yesterday’s log file via bot-analyze:

I’m surprised – bots are responsible for 14% of all my hits. That’s better than what I saw in 2009.
The way I have set up my web pages, bots should not crawl “actions” (URLS containing the `action` parameter) – and yet 9% of them do it, and superfeedr does it most of all. I should investigate, I guess.
