AI agent traffic

AI agent web traffic

Definition

HTTP requests made by AI agents (LLM crawlers, bots) to web servers, distinct from human browser traffic. Agents hit servers directly via HTTP, read HTML, and leave without executing JavaScript, making them invisible to traditional browser-based analytics.
