Probably every search of an AI is counted.

I know from my son-in-law that AI machines do not adhere to the normal rules of search engines and make excessive accesses. And there are more and more AI machines.

I am also a professional programmer (C, LabVIEW, C#) on the Windows platform. However, my world is more technical computer science.

Yes, the strange thousands of views are disturbing (although at first glance it's nice if this topic is yours)))))).. AI is starting to put pressure on normal people, and this is just the beginning. I think we need to go our own way and not get discouraged. It is difficult for an ordinary person to deal with a volcanic eruption, but you can take interesting photos)). biggrin

Re: Review of the last 14 months...
I doubt this is caused by AI. AI will steal the data and/or select specific topics following a search. It doesn't continue to repeatedly touch the same topics, certainly not in the ridiculous numbers that appear.
It only seems to occur on the first page. When you go to the next pages you will see around page 3 that the unnatural increase is no longer noticeable. The topics on pages 2 and 3 got the high view count when they were on the first page. At the moment I can think of only one reason why you would want to build a history with high view counts...

I also noticed that diacritics are no longer displayed correctly. I guess that started around the same time as the increased view count.

Re: Review of the last 14 months...
Hello everyone,
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and concerns and for being long-time active members of the Sweet Home 3D community. Your feedback truly matters to us, and we read these discussions carefully.

Over the past months, our team at Space Mushrooms has been focusing heavily on backend optimizations across the entire Sweet Home 3D ecosystem. A significant part of our work has involved improving the stability, security, and performance of our servers, which also affects the online version of Sweet Home 3D. These are foundational updates that don't always result in visible new features immediately, but they are essential for keeping the project healthy and reliable for the long term.

We understand that some of you are worried about the direction of the project, especially regarding open-source development, Linux support, and the availability of future updates. We want to reassure you that we are not ignoring the community. On the contrary, your long-standing dedication to Sweet Home 3D is one of the reasons we continue investing time and resources into maintaining and improving the platform.

We also appreciate the constructive criticism and even the skepticism. It helps us better understand your expectations and where communication may have been lacking. We will strive to be more transparent moving forward and to share more regular updates about ongoing work.

If you have further technical questions, plugin ideas, or suggestions for features you would like to see improved, we are always happy to hear them.
Thank you again for your patience, your passion, and for keeping this community alive for so many years.

Sweet Home 3D has grown thanks to all of you, and we intend to keep supporting it.
