It seems fairly likely to me that by the end of 2027 the majority of internet traffic will be Agents using the web. AI bots, basically.
I spent some time 'researching' website traffic trends over time, with Claude and ChatGPT and got fairly similar results.
The green line is human traffic. The yellow line is "bot" traffic (Google SEO). The red line is malicious bot traffic. The orange line is AI traffic.
To be clear, this graph isn't saying people will be using the internet less, although that might likely be true, it's saying as a share of website requests, AI is going to dominate them.
To me, this tells me the primary visitor of your website at the beginning of 2028 will be an AI Agent. I'm not predicting this uniformly across all industries and niches, maybe not your website, but on aggregate this is my prediction.
So what does that mean for web designers? What does that mean for Squarespace?
