Summary
Documents the analytics update that applies crawler filtering to visitor counts and refines the agent traffic breakdown.
Changes
Context
Visitor totals previously included crawler traffic even though page views excluded it, which could show more visitors than views on crawler-heavy sites. Visitors, referrals, and agent stats now use the same crawler classification as views, the agent breakdown gains HTTP clients/Browser/Other buckets, and referral CSV exports no longer truncate at 100 referring domains (that fix needed no docs change since no limit was documented).

Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only updates with no product code or configuration changes.
Overview
Documents the September 2026 analytics change where visitor counts use the same crawler filtering as page views, and expands traffic and help center guidance accordingly.
The Traffic analytics page adds a How Mintlify counts traffic section (human and agent traffic only, bots excluded), links to traffic exports, and a note pointing to the new help article. The Interpret agent views section is tightened and now describes provider grouping plus HTTP clients, Browser, and Other buckets, and that Mintlify internal traffic is excluded from the breakdown. Intro copy and the June 2026 agent-measurement note are shortened.
A new help center article explains why visitor totals dropped, why crawlers inflated visitors more than views, that historical ranges are recalculated at report time, and possible shifts in agent visitor totals. It is wired into docs.json navigation and mirrored in Spanish, French, and Chinese (
traffic.mdxand the help page).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 614779a. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
