Update to my prior post: Google Analytics shows lower numbers for February 5.
Why?
Google Gemini suggests bots may be to blame.
The internet is full of “bots” (automated scripts from search engines or malicious actors).
Google Analytics has an industry-leading database of known bots and filters them out very aggressively to give you “human” data.
Jetpack also filters bots, but its list is different. Jetpack often catches fewer bots than Google, which usually results in Jetpack showing higher traffic numbers than GA.
Still unanswered: why did the bots swarm on that particular day?
Looks like disregarding the traffic is the correct choice.
