On this path, what can be counted directly is crawler requests arriving at the site.
The 24,615,429 requests in S4 equal the Apple crawler total.
Crawler requests and the platform's mentions, answers, and actions are each read in their own units.
Apple's platform-specific numbers for S3 and S5–S10 are still being tracked.
Sources: site-wide and Organic Traffic from approved figures; each platform's crawler requests from the 2026/3/3–10/8 approved list.
Green bands show the purposes of site-arrival requests; dashed boxes mark in-platform or platform-specific numbers still being tracked.
