--- title: What this site is asked for desc: Every request txtfirst.com has answered since its own measurement was corrected, by shape and by client. Generated from live data, not written by hand. --- # What this site is asked for Generated 2026-09-16, counting every response since 2026-09-07 06:29:46 UTC. This page is not written by anyone. The Worker records one row per response, with no IP address, no cookie and no identifier: the shape it served, the path, the client family, the user agent and the Accept header. That is the whole dataset. Measurement began on 6 September 2026, two days after the domain went live, and the count here starts a day later than that. The first day of rows classified a 404 served as an HTML page as though it were a page view, which turned 185 vulnerability scanners into readers. To be exact about that number: 185 requests from 22 different clients, seven of which were for a favicon, which is not a scanner but is not a reader either. That is fixed, and the mislabelled rows are excluded rather than quietly included, so these numbers are small. They are published anyway, because a site arguing that the web should be measurable should be measurable itself, including when its own first measurement was wrong. ## The one number Of **10574 requests** that were not this site's own probe, **291 asked for markdown** and **1394 were answered with the HTML page**. **7024 were misses**. A miss is a request for something that is not here, and most of them are vulnerability scanners looking for `/wp-login.php` and `/.env`, which arrive at any domain within hours of it existing and are not readers. Misses are counted apart rather than as traffic. ## Shape by client `browser` is a client sending a browser user agent, which includes any program pretending to be one. `cli` is curl, wget or a plain HTTP library. `other-bot` is a declared crawler that is not one of the named model builders. A shape of `miss` is a 404 or a 405. | shape | client | n | |----------|------------|------| | miss | browser | 5464 | | html | browser | 1192 | | miss | other-bot | 766 | | redirect | browser | 763 | | redirect | other-bot | 328 | | miss | none | 199 | | miss | other | 184 | | md | browser | 177 | | miss | anthropic | 137 | | miss | openai | 98 | | txt | browser | 98 | | txt | cli | 94 | | redirect | anthropic | 94 | | html | other-bot | 87 | | miss | cli | 78 | | txt | other-bot | 75 | | html | cli | 74 | | json | browser | 74 | | md | cli | 67 | | redirect | openai | 66 | | redirect | other | 65 | | redirect | cli | 56 | | miss | perplexity | 55 | | other | cli | 48 | | md | other-bot | 47 | | miss | google | 43 | | html | other | 41 | | redirect | none | 39 | | txt | openai | 37 | | json | cli | 28 | ## Declared crawlers Every request from a client that names itself as a crawler, with the shape it received. If this table is empty, or holds only crawlers that are not model builders, that is itself the finding: publishing in a machine readable format does not summon anyone. | client | agent | shape | n | |-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----| | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Kimi-SearchBot/1.0; +https://kimi.ai/) | miss | 81 | | other-bot | DuckAssistBot/1.1 (https://duckduckgo.com/duckassistbot) | miss | 65 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YouBot/1.0; +https://you.com/bot) | miss | 54 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; KimiBot/1.0; +https://kimi.ai/) | miss | 44 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ChatGLM-Spider/1.0; +https://zhipuai.cn/) | miss | 44 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Qwenbot/1.0; +https://qwen.alibaba.com/) | miss | 44 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YiBot/1.0; +https://01.ai/) | miss | 35 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Bytespider; spider-feedback@bytedance.com) AppleWebKit/537.36 | miss | 34 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; DeepSeekBot/1.0; +https://www.deepseek.com/) | miss | 33 | | openai | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.3; +https://openai.com/gptbot) | miss | 33 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot) Chrome/119.0.6045.214 Safari/537.36 | redirect | 32 | | google | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Google-Extended; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) | miss | 32 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Meta-ExternalAgent/1.0; +https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler) | miss | 32 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot) | miss | 26 | | other-bot | Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Bravebot/1.0; +https://brave.com/search/) | miss | 25 | | openai | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ChatGPT-User/1.0; +https://openai.com/bot) | miss | 25 | | openai | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.4; +https://openai.com/gptbot) | md | 24 | | anthropic | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com) | miss | 23 | | anthropic | Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Claude-SearchBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com) | miss | 23 | | other-bot | CCBot/2.0 (https://commoncrawl.org/faq/) | miss | 23 | ## Paths people and programs actually reach Misses excluded, so this is what was found rather than what was guessed at. | path | shape | n | |----------------------------|-------|------| | / | html | 1379 | | /robots.txt | txt | 207 | | /spec.md | md | 49 | | /llms.txt | txt | 48 | | /contact.md | md | 45 | | /api/pages.json | json | 41 | | /.well-known/txtfirst.json | json | 34 | | /index.md | md | 33 | | /reads | html | 32 | | /about.md | md | 30 | | /changes.json | json | 27 | | /implement.md | md | 25 | | /reads.md | md | 24 | | /dialect.md | md | 23 | | /tools/factblock.py | txt | 21 | ## What this cannot tell you A user agent is a claim, not an identity, and anything can send any string. This page cannot separate a person clicking a `.md` link from a scraper wearing a Chrome string. Analytics Engine samples under load, so counts are estimates. Nothing here is a visit count and none of it identifies anyone. Check any site yourself with the checker this site publishes, which needs nothing installed beyond Node: ``` curl -s https://txtfirst.com/cli/index.js > txtfirst.js node txtfirst.js check yourdomain.com ```
