Enter the shape of the traffic change
Magnitude, whether it's concentrated in one area, how long it's lasted, and whether errors moved with it.

How it works
We calculate an anomaly severity score
Magnitude, concentration, duration, and a concurrent error-rate change are weighted together, and a most-likely-cause is inferred from the pattern.
Get a specific first place to look
Rather than generic advice, the result points at tracking, a specific feature, a region/device, or a known recent event as the likely driver.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a sharp drop in error rate matter?
If your traffic and error rate both moved sharply and unexpectedly, it's often a sign your analytics or tracking pipeline broke rather than real user traffic changing.
Is this a replacement for real-time traffic monitoring?
No. It's a fast, rule-based triage using numbers you already have. A dedicated observability or analytics platform will detect and alert on these shifts automatically.
What counts as 'concentrated in one area'?
If the traffic change is much larger on one specific page, feature, region, or device type than everywhere else, that's a strong clue pointing at a localized cause.
Does this work for traffic increases too, not just drops?
Yes — a sudden unexplained spike (from a bot, a viral post, or a bug generating extra requests) is diagnosed the same way as a drop.
