@manton Whoa, what happened on August 21?? Did every post on my site get visited once or something?!

A mobile screen displays analytics from “tinlytics.app,” showing 2,946 views in the last 30 days, a total of 17,053 lifetime views, and a graph highlighting a significant spike in views on August 21, 2025.

@jarrod Oh, you got that too. I saw something similar on the 20th August (local time).

@jarrod @lmika Weird! Only thing I can think of is the Open Graph support has to download a web page to render the preview. But that should only happen for new posts. Maybe some other rogue crawler?

@vincent @jarrod @lmika @manton I had a similar jump in traffic, apparently accessing one page, and listed as Russian Federation as the country source.

@manton I was thinking a crawler of some sort.

@jarrod Seems likely. Does Tinylytics track user agent? We only keep recent logs for security, so might not be much help if it was a little while ago.

@vincent Thanks. It’s more of a curiosity rather than anything else.
