I really like how detailed the Government Directed Internet Outages are, when I saw that I wondered if that means the whole country was taken offline, or it's heavily filtered, or some regions within the countries are blocked or what, but if you click in a little, and use the timeline on the bottom, they give some interesting context. Cool.
Hah, AS16509 beats every other AS in bot traffic by a huge margin. I wonder if at least half of it is due to the major crypto exchanges hosted in AWS Tokyo behind Cloudflare.
Claude is coming up in 6th or 7th place and below in most countries including US, but in 2nd place in the world, how is it possible, what am i missing.
It is quite surprising that over half of the traffic hitting Cloudflare are still from desktop clients. Based on my observation, most normies are mobile-only users now. Maybe it's user demographic?
Established markets are more desktop heavy, and newer markets are more mobile heavy. Maybe an interesting info to watch out for if you're an app dev.

So uh... no percentage of impact for each event? ;-)
Even when it identifies the specific project, it doesn't know C#. I took some scans of some notable CMS websites (so the programming language is provably correct).
The 10% share for ASP.NET among the top 5,000 domains shows that .NET (and therefore also C#) is a very serious player in building web apps and APIs and for good reason. .NET is a solid, fast, secure, and mature technology, and it's only getting better. All other significant frameworks were JS based, which is no surprise to anyone, as a lot of modern sites are built as SPAs.
The PaaS section seems odd to me too. AWS 63% followed by Vercel 7.9%. But Vercel runs on AWS I believe. Azure just 4.6% and no showing for GCP at all.
The outage happened in Aug 19th-20th, China is directly linked to the misconfiguration of GFW. It's government directed, not so-called "technical problem".

* Perplexity beating Gemini for volume?
* Globo #1 in news...never heard of it (Latin Am. news)
* Only 4.2% http is from bots? Seems low relative to people's complaints about it on blogs
* >50% post quantum encrypted (of TLS1.3 I think, not overall)
Better to hang onto it - you never know when you'll suddenly need 16 million IPv4 addresses for uh, car stuff.
There is no way that go is beating python for api client language popularity. Are they just measuring the fact that net/http has a default user agent?

i am not even through the entire report but already spotted some dark horses running the web without much fanfare.
