This isn’t particularly helpful?

(and of course tells me that most of my visitors are crawlers or odd incognito!)

This site isn’t exploding, but I’m seeing the same issue on another site which is significantly better attended.

I suppose it’s helpful in that the relative size of the typical base selections isn’t jumping up and down as you turn crawlers & bots on and off…

…but agree that sometimes it would be nice to adjust or toggle the Y axis.

Maybe we need a re-scale button? 🤔

I just don’t think the information “I’ve got a lot of crawlers and strange visitors” is useful beyond a very basic data point.

This was indeed the intention, and it works well for other reports where the values are more naturally close together.

Agree that it doesn’t work well for this situation tho. We’ll have a look to see if we can make that a bit smarter.
