The gap between the console and the server
Search consoles report a subset of one operator's crawling, on their schedule. They say nothing about the AI agents now reading the same pages.
Your origin sees all of it, unsampled and immediately. The work is turning that into something per-page rather than a log.

What to look at first
- 1 Pages crawled often that receive no human visits: read, and not sending anybody.
- 2 Pages crawled by assistants but not by search crawlers, and the reverse.
- 3 New pages, and how long until each operator picks them up.
- 4 Impostor traffic claiming to be a search crawler and failing verification.
04 · what this is not
What this is not
It is not a rank tracker and does not model ranking factors. It reports requests that reached your origin and visits that followed. Anything beyond that would be inference presented as measurement.
Questions
Does this replace Search Console?
No. Search Console reports things only the operator knows, such as impressions. This reports what actually hit your server, across every operator.
Can I export it?
Yes, through the API, which is available on the free plan.
Is the crawl data sampled?
No. It is your own request data.
How far back does it go?
As far as your plan’s retention. Aggregates are kept longer than individual requests.
