How we measure
Signals, not claims of influence.
The purpose of this page is transparency. These figures describe activity we can observe on our own site. They do not tell us what an AI model says inside a private conversation, and they do not turn popularity into an editorial recommendation.
What counts as a reader visit?
A guide visit is recorded through the site’s first-party community layer. We use an anonymous one-way identifier and count at most one visit per browser, per guide, per day. Raw IP addresses are not stored for this measurement.
What counts as an AI read?
An AI read is an observable request for a published guide from a recognised AI crawler or user-triggered AI agent. It does not mean that an AI assistant recommended, cited or endorsed the guide in a private chat.
How are AI systems identified?
Requests are classified using recognised user-agent signatures. These identifiers can be spoofed, and caching or CDN layers can prevent some requests from reaching WordPress, so the numbers should be treated as observable signals rather than a complete measure of AI visibility.
How are community responses counted?
Readers’ Pick votes and listing reactions come from the community features on individual guides. They remain separate from our Editor’s Picks and Editor’s Verdicts. Reader popularity does not automatically change an editorial recommendation.
Why do some numbers say “Collecting”?
We hide very small totals because tiny numbers can create a misleading impression of significance. Public counters and rankings appear only after their minimum activity threshold has been reached.
What happens to older signal data?
Raw signal rows are retained only for a short rolling analytics window. The community layer automatically removes signal records older than 45 days.
