For years, the internet was described as a place built around people: readers, shoppers, gamers, subscribers, voters, fans, and customers. That image is no longer fully accurate, because a growing share of online activity now comes from automated systems rather than human hands.

Imperva’s 2026 Bad Bot Report says automated traffic accounted for more than 53% of all web traffic in 2025, up from 51% in 2024, while human traffic fell to 47%.
