Traffic Overview
The Traffic Overview tile shows the total request volume for a selected period, segmented by category. Each request is identified as either a human, a bad bot, a good bot (search engines, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, as well as social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), or a bad bot you have added to your whitelist.
Traffic by Category (%)
Similar to the Traffic Overview tile, the Traffic by Category (%) tile shows a percentage breakdown of the total request volume for a selected period, segmented by category. Each request is identified as either a human, a bad bot, a good bot (search engines, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, as well as social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), or a bad bot you have added to your whitelist.
