The Autocade stats are showing, since the counter reset a few years ago, 18,359,220 page views.
Add that to the 27,647,011 we had previously, and we’ve passed the 46 million mark, at 46,006,231.
We’ve successfully blocked many new bots and “AI” scrapers, checking in on our visitors daily. It’s sad that this has become a regular part of managing an online publication. The Brazilian traffic we noted last time could have been a bot net—now also blocked. This has played havoc with our statistics, annoyingly, but habits are habits. It does give us an idea of what has been stolen and what the server load must have been.
We must be one of the few online publications pleased at seeing traffic numbers fall—but we only want real traffic.
Hence we even block “SEO” bots, even bots called GoogleOther, and all from googleusercontent.com.
Traffic is coming in at around 10,000–15,000 page views a day, which is where we traditionally fell, and, without “AI”, where we still are.
The latest model entered was the Toyota bZ3X, the 5,533rd.
The other news is Autocade Year of Cars 2026. It is out in “soft launch” mode at Libriz so if you want to grab a copy at an early-bird price, please go for it. We’re debating whether to put it back up to full retail once the press releases go out.
