Test site finds most AI agents counted as human traffic

On October 27, 2026, a team behind a web analytics tool published a post in the AI section of DEV Community describing a small test site they built. They said they gave two dozen AI agents, chatbots, and developer tools the same task—comparing two pricing pages—and recorded every request those programs sent and every click they made. They then completed the same task themselves, manually, as a control. According to the team's own account, most of this agent traffic was classified in their analytics as human, not bot. The post presents the finding as a first look at what agent-driven browsing looks like from the analytics side; whether such visits show up as a person, a bot, or not at all was the question they set out to answer. At this point, only this one account is publicly available. No independent verification has been published, and no follow-up measurements or updates have been reported, so the finding remains the team's own self-reported result.
