Enter a URL, a domain or a list. For each page you get whether it has enough traffic to appear in the Chrome report, on which devices, and for how long. No account and no credit card.
Expired domains only queries Archive.org: a dead domain has no sitemap and no server left. Note that the Chrome report only covers the last ten months. Beyond that, a domain that went dark tells nothing more.
Pick the sitemap lists the site's sitemaps: click the one you want, see its URLs, and tick the ones to measure. Useful when a site keeps its content apart, for example a cars-sitemap.xml among author and category pages.
The Chrome User Experience Report never publishes a visit count. It publishes a page only when it passes a threshold of real visits, and it publishes each device's data separately, each with its own threshold. That series of thresholds is the measure used here: the more of them a page passes, the more visited it is.
So this is neither Google traffic nor estimated traffic. It is Chrome traffic, from all sources, among users who agreed to share usage statistics. A page can be well visited and still stay below the threshold: absence proves nothing, presence does.
The expired domain case. A name that is no longer served has no sitemap, and today's report returns nothing. But the history covers about ten months: the tool then takes the pages known to Archive.org and looks at what they were worth before they disappeared. It is the only public way to see that a URL used to do well.
From the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), published by Google. It never gives a number of visits: it publishes a page only if it passes a threshold of real visits. Its presence is therefore already an answer, and the detail gives a finer one, since each breakdown has its own threshold.
0: the page is below the threshold, Chrome publishes nothing about it. 1: it exists, all devices combined. One point is added for each device that has its own data (mobile, desktop, tablet), and one point if navigation types are published, which only happens on the most visited pages. The more thresholds a page passes, the more traffic it has.
No, and it is a common mistake. Measured on a site with heavy Discover traffic: many articles have mobile and tablet data with none for desktop. So we count the number of devices, never an order.
CrUX publishes up to 40 periods of 28 days, but they slide by one week: real coverage is about ten months, measured at 301 days. Two pages on the same tier are not equal: the one that holds 40 weeks has been working for a long time, the one with two has just appeared. It is also what tells a page that carried a site from a page that had one day of glory.
Yes, and it is the most interesting case. A dead domain has no sitemap left: the tool then takes the pages known to Archive.org. Today's traffic is zero, but the history keeps track of what the site was worth before it disappeared. It is the way to see that a URL used to do well, before buying the name.
It relies on the sitemap's <lastmod> tag, which many sites don't publish, or reset to today's date on every page each time they publish. When no date is published, the tool says so and falls back on the sitemap order, rather than showing a ranking that would not be one.
Google's API is limited to 150 requests per minute, and this page is open to everyone without an account: a single run of several hundred URLs would block every other visitor for several minutes. Results are kept for a week, so a second run on the same site is almost instant.
No. It is Chrome traffic, measured among users who agreed to share usage statistics, from all sources: search, ads, social networks, direct visits. A page heavily visited from a newsletter shows up just as much as a page ranking in search engines.
