Web traffic statistics for the several City-Parish websites, brla.gov, city.brla.gov, Red Stick Ready, GIS, Open Data etc. Information provided by Google Analytics.

As of the last quarter of 2023, 31.57 percent of web traffic in the United States originated from mobile devices, down from 49.51 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. In comparison, over half of web traffic worldwide was generated via mobile in the last examined period.

In 2024, most of the global website traffic was still generated by humans, but bot traffic is constantly growing. Fraudulent traffic through bad bot actors accounted for 37 percent of global web traffic in the most recently measured period, representing an increase of 12 percent from the previous year. Sophistication of Bad Bots on the rise The complexity of malicious bot activity has dramatically increased in recent years. Advanced bad bots have doubled in prevalence over the past 2 years, indicating a surge in the sophistication of cyber threats. Simultaneously, the share of simple bad bots drastically increased over the last years, suggesting a shift in the landscape of automated threats. Meanwhile, areas like food and groceries, sports, gambling, and entertainment faced the highest amount of advanced bad bots, with more than 70 percent of their bot traffic affected by evasive applications. Good and bad bots across industries The impact of bot traffic varies across different sectors. Bad bots accounted for over 50 percent of the telecom and ISPs, community and society, and computing and IT segments web traffic. However, not all bot traffic is considered bad. Some of these applications help index websites for search engines or monitor website performance, assisting users throughout their online search. Therefore, areas like entertainment, food and groceries, and even areas targeted by bad bots themselves experienced notable levels of good bot traffic, demonstrating the diverse applications of benign automated systems across different sectors.

CESNET-QUIC22: A large one-month QUIC network traffic dataset from backbone lines, Data in Brief, 2023, 108888, ISSN 2352-3409, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2023.108888. We recommend using the CESNET DataZoo python library, which facilitates the work with large network traffic datasets. More information about the DataZoo project can be found in the GitHub repository https://github.com/CESNET/cesnet-datazoo. The QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection) protocol has the potential to replace TLS over TCP, which is the standard choice for reliable and secure Internet communication. Due to its design that makes the inspection of QUIC handshakes challenging and its usage in HTTP/3, there is an increasing demand for research in QUIC traffic analysis. This dataset contains one month of QUIC traffic collected in an ISP backbone network, which connects 500 large institutions and serves around half a million people. The data are delivered as enriched flows that can be useful for various network monitoring tasks. The provided server names and packet-level information allow research in the encrypted traffic classification area. Moreover, included QUIC versions and user agents (smartphone, web browser, and operating system identifiers) provide information for large-scale QUIC deployment studies. Data capture The data was captured in the flow monitoring infrastructure of the CESNET2 network. The capturing was done for four weeks between 31.10.2022 and 27.11.2022. The following list provides per-week flow count, capture period, and uncompressed size:

W-2022-44

Uncompressed Size: 19 GB Capture Period: 31.10.2022 - 6.11.2022 Number of flows: 32.6M W-2022-45

Uncompressed Size: 25 GB Capture Period: 7.11.2022 - 13.11.2022 Number of flows: 42.6M W-2022-46

Uncompressed Size: 20 GB Capture Period: 14.11.2022 - 20.11.2022 Number of flows: 33.7M W-2022-47

Uncompressed Size: 25 GB Capture Period: 21.11.2022 - 27.11.2022 Number of flows: 44.1M CESNET-QUIC22

Uncompressed Size: 89 GB Capture Period: 31.10.2022 - 27.11.2022 Number of flows: 153M

Data description The dataset consists of network flows describing encrypted QUIC communications. Flows were created using ipfixprobe flow exporter and are extended with packet metadata sequences, packet histograms, and with fields extracted from the QUIC Initial Packet, which is the first packet of the QUIC connection handshake. The extracted handshake fields are the Server Name Indication (SNI) domain, the used version of the QUIC protocol, and the user agent string that is available in a subset of QUIC communications. Packet Sequences Flows in the dataset are extended with sequences of packet sizes, directions, and inter-packet times. For the packet sizes, we consider payload size after transport headers (UDP headers for the QUIC case). Packet directions are encoded as ±1, +1 meaning a packet sent from client to server, and -1 a packet from server to client. Inter-packet times depend on the location of communicating hosts, their distance, and on the network conditions on the path. However, it is still possible to extract relevant information that correlates with user interactions and, for example, with the time required for an API/server/database to process the received data and generate the response to be sent in the next packet. Packet metadata sequences have a length of 30, which is the default setting of the used flow exporter. We also derive three fields from each packet sequence: its length, time duration, and the number of roundtrips. The roundtrips are counted as the number of changes in the communication direction (from packet directions data); in other words, each client request and server response pair counts as one roundtrip. Flow statistics Flows also include standard flow statistics, which represent aggregated information about the entire bidirectional flow. The fields are: the number of transmitted bytes and packets in both directions, the duration of flow, and packet histograms. Packet histograms include binned counts of packet sizes and inter-packet times of the entire flow in both directions (more information in the PHISTS plugin documentation There are eight bins with a logarithmic scale; the intervals are 0-15, 16-31, 32-63, 64-127, 128-255, 256-511, 512-1024, >1024 [ms or B]. The units are milliseconds for inter-packet times and bytes for packet sizes. Moreover, each flow has its end reason - either it was idle, reached the active timeout, or ended due to other reasons. This corresponds with the official IANA IPFIX-specified values. The FLOW_ENDREASON_OTHER field represents the forced end and lack of resources reasons. The end of flow detected reason is not considered because it is not relevant for UDP connections. Dataset structure The dataset flows are delivered in compressed CSV files. CSV files contain one flow per row; data columns are summarized in the provided list below. For each flow data file, there is a JSON file with the number of saved and seen (before sampling) flows per service and total counts of all received (observed on the CESNET2 network), service (belonging to one of the dataset's services), and saved (provided in the dataset) flows. There is also the stats-week.json file aggregating flow counts of a whole week and the stats-dataset.json file aggregating flow counts for the entire dataset. Flow counts before sampling can be used to compute sampling ratios of individual services and to resample the dataset back to the original service distribution. Moreover, various dataset statistics, such as feature distributions and value counts of QUIC versions and user agents, are provided in the dataset-statistics folder. The mapping between services and service providers is provided in the servicemap.csv file, which also includes SNI domains used for ground truth labeling. The following list describes flow data fields in CSV files:

ID: Unique identifier SRC_IP: Source IP address DST_IP: Destination IP address DST_ASN: Destination Autonomous System number SRC_PORT: Source port DST_PORT: Destination port PROTOCOL: Transport protocol QUIC_VERSION QUIC: protocol version QUIC_SNI: Server Name Indication domain QUIC_USER_AGENT: User agent string, if available in the QUIC Initial Packet TIME_FIRST: Timestamp of the first packet in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.ffffff TIME_LAST: Timestamp of the last packet in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.ffffff DURATION: Duration of the flow in seconds BYTES: Number of transmitted bytes from client to server BYTES_REV: Number of transmitted bytes from server to client PACKETS: Number of packets transmitted from client to server PACKETS_REV: Number of packets transmitted from server to client PPI: Packet metadata sequence in the format: [[inter-packet times], [packet directions], [packet sizes]] PPI_LEN: Number of packets in the PPI sequence PPI_DURATION: Duration of the PPI sequence in seconds PPI_ROUNDTRIPS: Number of roundtrips in the PPI sequence PHIST_SRC_SIZES: Histogram of packet sizes from client to server PHIST_DST_SIZES: Histogram of packet sizes from server to client PHIST_SRC_IPT: Histogram of inter-packet times from client to server PHIST_DST_IPT: Histogram of inter-packet times from server to client APP: Web service label CATEGORY: Service category FLOW_ENDREASON_IDLE: Flow was terminated because it was idle FLOW_ENDREASON_ACTIVE: Flow was terminated because it reached the active timeout FLOW_ENDREASON_OTHER: Flow was terminated for other reasons

Comprehensive analysis of Amazon's daily website traffic including visitor counts, traffic sources, mobile vs desktop usage, and seasonal patterns based on May 2025 data.

Mobile accounts for approximately half of web traffic worldwide. In the last quarter of 2024, mobile devices (excluding tablets) generated 62.54 percent of global website traffic. Mobiles and smartphones consistently hoovered around the 50 percent mark since the beginning of 2017, before surpassing it in 2020. Mobile traffic Due to low infrastructure and financial restraints, many emerging digital markets skipped the desktop internet phase entirely and moved straight onto mobile internet via smartphone and tablet devices. India is a prime example of a market with a significant mobile-first online population. Other countries with a significant share of mobile internet traffic include Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. In most African markets, mobile accounts for more than half of the web traffic. By contrast, mobile only makes up around 45.49 percent of online traffic in the United States. Mobile usage The most popular mobile internet activities worldwide include watching movies or videos online, e-mail usage and accessing social media. Apps are a very popular way to watch video on the go and the most-downloaded entertainment apps in the Apple App Store are Netflix, Tencent Video and Amazon Prime Video.

Puff Bar, a disposable electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS), was the ENDS brand most commonly used by U.S. youth in 2021. We explored whether Puff Bar’s rise in marketplace prominence was detectable through advertising, retail sales, social media, and web traffic data sources. We retrospectively documented potential signals of interest in and uptake of Puff Bar in the United States using metrics based on advertising (Numerator and Comperemedia), retail sales (NielsenIQ), social media (Twitter, via Sprinklr), and web traffic (Similarweb) data from January 2019 to June 2022. We selected metrics based on (1) data availability, (2) potential to graph metric longitudinally, and (3) variability in metric. We graphed metrics and assessed data patterns compared to data for Vuse, a comparator product, and in the context of regulatory events significant to Puff Bar. The number of Twitter posts that contained a Puff Bar term (social media), Puff Bar product sales measured in dollars (sales), and the number of visits to the Puff Bar website (web traffic) exhibited potential for surveilling Puff Bar due to ease of calculation, comprehensibility, and responsiveness to events. Advertising tracked through Numerator and Comperemedia did not appear to capture marketing from Puff Bar’s manufacturer or drive change in marketplace prominence. This study demonstrates how quantitative changes in metrics developed using advertising, retail sales, social media, and web traffic data sources detected changes in Puff Bar’s marketplace prominence. We conclude that low-effort, scalable, rapid signal detection capabilities can be an important part of a multi-component tobacco surveillance program.
