We read 90 days of Cloudflare edge logs through Microsoft Clarity's bot analytics (~1.23M requests) and compared them with GA4 and Blogger stats. Here's what stood out, with the caveats.
The split
- About 70% of requests were likely human, about 30% automated.
- Clarity classifies roughly 200K requests as AI crawler, AI search or AI assistant activity.
Selected AI operators (requests in 90 days)
| Operator | Requests |
|---|
| Microsoft | 43,380 |
| Google | 42,050 |
| Meta | 35,690 |
| Anthropic | 19,730 |
| OpenAI | 14,900 |
Clarity also lists Huawei and Amazon above OpenAI. Logs show who asked for a page, not how the data is used afterward.
robots.txt compliance
Clarity's Violations card showed 0.98%: requests to URLs our robots.txt disallows. That's a compliance metric, not a security one. If you set per-operator rules, they look like this (choose Allow or Disallow for your own policy):
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
User-agent: ClaudeBot
Allow: /
Status codes
Around 48% of requests showed as unsuccessful in Clarity. We're breaking them down by path and status code next.
Don't mix units
Blogger showed 64.7K pageviews from the Netherlands. GA4 showed 102 active users there. Same site, same 90 days, different measures.
How do you separate bots from humans in your analytics?
