For
Website operators inspecting crawler and scanner traffic
Worth noticing
The page distinguishes clients merely claiming to be browsers from ones that actually run the page and open a live connection.

Field notes

The legend sorts traffic into named groups including search crawlers, AI crawlers, link-preview bots, SEO scanners, and unmasked tools such as curl or Python scripts. It also separates likely brute-force sequences from ordinary 404 requests, and explains that SSH figures come from server logs. These details are presented as counts or classifications, not identities; the supplied capture has no recorded events to inspect.
