Pilot CDN Traffic - November 2025

The pilot CDN quietly ran for November, giving us a clean read on how the edge behaves without any marketing pushes or referral noise. This recap covers 2025-11-01 through 2025-12-01 (UTC) using anonymized, aggregated server logs from the CDN edge, with no site names, domains, or paths.

• 140,500 total page views during the month.
• Referers were 100% direct — no external links or campaigns drove volume.
• One geography generated ~98% of traffic, pointing to a single-origin pattern.
• Desktop made up ~99.7% of sessions; mobile was negligible.
• Chrome family browsers accounted for almost everything.

• Primary region: ~138k views (~98% share).
• Secondary regions: low triple-digit views spread across North America, Asia, South America, and the Middle East/Africa.
• The asymmetry suggests scripted or automated activity concentrated in one location.

• Chrome family (~140k) dwarfs everything else; other user agents barely register.

• Desktop: 140,100
• Mobile: 400

• Windows: 139,800
• Android: 400
• Linux: 200
• Unknown: 100

• Treat the property as a candidate for bot filtering: traffic is overwhelmingly direct, desktop, Windows, and Chrome from a single region.
• Add a referer sanity check or challenge/allow list to validate the audience profile.
• Instrument synthetic monitoring from outside the dominant geography to confirm baseline availability and latency.
• If a redirect or caching test is running, consider throttling frequency; otherwise, explore rate limiting for repetitive patterns.

Note: After reviewing subsequent analytics, a large share of requests originated from a Tencent-operated Singapore datacenter. Blocking has been applied to that traffic source going forward.
