Weekly market insights for independent investors and traders.

Reader shares use browser-qualified public page views, excluding identified automation. These measure activity, not unique people. A reader who opens several pages contributes several views. Country and region readings depend on available location data.

Search, social and AI referral breakdowns each use their own source total. A referral to a section includes later page views attributed to that source. Direct includes visits without a recognised external source; it does not establish loyalty or a returning visit.

AI web and API charts use successful recorded HTTP responses, including redirects, from recognised AI agents. They include public pages, APIs, discovery files and other public data. Failed requests, internal activity, private areas and MCP transport requests are excluded. The page-interest comparison uses public-page requests only.

MCP charts use their own total of successful research-interface operations. Errors, missing or unavailable results and validation calls are excluded. MCP operations are never added to web-request totals. Unidentified and command-line clients remain visible without being labelled as AI assistants.

Verification distinguishes confirmed provider identities from names claimed by a client. Purpose is inferred from the recorded agent; it does not prove a citation, an answer or model training. AI referrals describe attributed browser page views, not automated requests. Requests never recorded by the application, unidentified web agents and answers served from a provider’s existing index cannot be measured here.

Percentages are rounded. Small shares may display below 0.1%; ratios are approximate and omitted when the denominator is too small. No recorded activity is shown as an empty chart. Today is incomplete; rolling 7- and 30-day windows can include partial first and last days. Reading times use Europe/London.
