    StatCounter is hosted on Cloudflare DNS but if you’ve got more information about their data sources I could check if those filter bots as well.

        Statcounter monitors traffic on every website that implements it, the majority of those are likely Cloudflare or similar DNS, but we don’t really know for sure.

        The source is NOT people who visit Statcounter.

          What does DNS have to do with anything? DNS isn’t involved in this data gathering. Cloudflare uses DNS to enable proxying, proxying is how they gather OS data.

          Statcounter’s data is from visitors to pages with their JS embedded. That’s their whole business model. No one said it was visitors to the Statcounter website iself.

          Have you considered that you might not actually know what you’re talking about?

            You not knowing what a DNS is in this context or what CloudFlare does sort of makes a reasonable response impossible without typing multiple paragraphs.
