Saturday’s traffic dropped 9.8% day-on-day and 24.6% against the weekly average—typical weekend drift—but the cache hit rate climbed to 59.8%, which is quietly the better story. The 404 noise shifted entirely toward Cloudflare probe paths (/cdn-cgi/trace, /cdn-cgi/rum, and the rocket-loader phantom) rather than real content, which means the site’s actual structural problems are staying put. Threats blocked fell to 235, half the weekly average, suggesting botnets also take Saturdays off. The /ip endpoint (shipped five days ago via Workers-with-Assets) pulled eleven requests—not massive, but it shipped, it works, it lives. Tilting at Windmills held at thirty-two page views, the loyal floor. Everything else was the homepage doing its job and the 404 floor doing its job, both predictable. Quiet, functional, cache rate improving—nothing embarrassing happened.
