Hi! I am trying to understand how much real traffic i get. In google analytics I see Organic and Direct traffic. I was reading what is Direct traffic and looks like it can be from google organic traffic as well but what is weird - most of traffic (for example, from yesterday stats) are from Chicago. Though the pages are not related anyhow to that location and I have visitors from all over the world. My question is. Is it a real traffic and real visitors or some bot? I attach the screenshots.

I don't see anything indicating that these visitors would be bots. They look real to me.

Direct traffic is a source of traffic where Google just hasn't been able to attribute the source.

One thing a lot of people don't know is that HTTPS causes Google Analytics to drop the referrer meaning it shows up as direct traffic in Google Analytics.
