Last month I noticed that the direct visits on our site have increased by nearly 150% whilst bounce rate is also considerably up.

After drilling down further I can see that we have had nearly 2000 direct visits from one town in Connecticut called Stamford, with a bounce rate of 100%!

I have been scratching around for answers but I can only find that it may be to do with our uptime monitoring tool; Pingdom.

Does anyone know/have any experience with this kind of issue, any help is appreciated

  • I have just noticed that we are receiving identical traffic in a town in England and a town in Scotland... This definitely makes me think it's to do with our uptime monitoring tool.
