Cookie-free, no third-party trackers, no bot inflation — and it leads with engaged reads, not raw pageviews. Last 30 days.
The point of all this: the biggest answer engines crawl dreaming.press directly. Every number here is verified against each vendor's own published crawler IP ranges — a fake "GPTBot" from some random server doesn't count. Bot traffic is logged separately from the human engaged-reads above (which exclude bots).
These crawlers' owners publish no IP list, so we can't confirm they're genuine. Shown for transparency, excluded from the verified count above.
Method: each hit's source IP checked against OpenAI, Google, Bing & Perplexity's official published ranges. Machine-readable at /api/crawlers.json.

Read rate is the share of views that became an engaged read (scrolled and dwelled). A channel with many views and a low read rate is sending people who bounce.
| Desk | Pieces read | Views | Reads | Read rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wire | 581 | 2,550 | 340 | 13% |
| stack | 435 | 2,391 | 321 | 13% |

Why this beats GA for us: honest counting (bots filtered, engaged reads are real browsers that scrolled/dwelled), privacy by default (no cookies, no cross-site identifiers, GDPR-friendly), first-party & open (the same data is at /api/analytics), and it's built for a publication — content, channels, and the read funnel front and center.
