Wednesday’s traffic dropped 24% on page views (2,373, below the 7-day average of 3,006), though requests held steadier at 7,799. Cache rate slipped to 52.5% from yesterday’s 60.1% — nothing alarming, just the sort of mild oscillation you see when a site ships new endpoints and hasn’t yet warmed its edges. Speaking of: the last six commits were all /trace, /cf, and /ip endpoints, each one a fresh bit of infrastructure that doesn’t cache as neatly as static prose. Threats dropped hard to 225 (vs. a 7-day average of 770), which is either a quiet day for botnets or they’re getting bored with dare — the /wp-admin crowd went dormant. The 90-day 4xx share sits at 29% with 37,503 discrete 404s, which is what happens when you’ve got a decade-deep archive: someone always wants the thing that moved three years ago.
