Access-log reader for people who run a website
Ask your access log. Get plain answers.
Your web server already writes down every request. Open that log here and it answers in plain words: how much was people and how much was bots, which pages they read, who sent them, what is broken, and who is probing for weak spots.

What it answers
01How much of it was people, and how much was bots?
Of 2,759 requests, 2,516 (91%) looked like people's browsers and 243 (9%) came from bots, scripts or probes.
02What is broken?
The server failed 8 times (5xx errors) and answered "not found" (404) to 29 requests for the paths in the not-found list. Look at the server errors first: those visitors got a broken page.
03Is anyone probing the site?
40 requests asked for well-known attack paths (such as login pages and secret files). This is automated scanning that every public site gets.

Private by design
The file never leaves your computer.
The page reads it with JavaScript and keeps only counts and top-15 lists: no IP addresses, no browser strings, no query strings.
Save a report's summary to a private Traffic Notebook (a link, no account) and compare this month with last month.

Straight talk
What it will not do
- Sell traffic, clicks, links, reviews or search rankings. It only reads what already happened.
- Put a tracking script on your site, or see your log file.
- Pretend a log can count people exactly: the visitor number is labelled an estimate, and bots are judged by what they say they are.
