Cool that they publish reasonably detailed info! Couple points that stood out to me

* Perplexity beating Gemini for volume?

* Globo #1 in news...never heard of it (Latin Am. news)

* Only 4.2% http is from bots? Seems low relative to people's complaints about it on blogs

* >50% post quantum encrypted (of TLS1.3 I think, not overall)



4.2% for bots? Wat. No way. In 2012 it was easily 50%. In the era of GenAI scraping it's surely only gone up.

I was surprised as well. And then Snapchat ( is that still a thing ? ) is higher than X ?

Shopee larger than Temu?

I assume a lot of these are Cloudflare customer's specific, or 1.1.1.1 DNS user specific.


There's a particular narrow age range demo that did everything on Snapchat and still use it as their primary way to talk to friends and send messages without giving out a phone number.

X, people fled their long ago. Staggering amount of bot v not traffic.


*there, oops!


Actually the entire study should be titled “Usage trends of Cloudflare users”. The internet is not Cloudflare.
