I run HackMyIP, a free IP/privacy toolkit: IP lookup, VPN/proxy and DNS-leak detection, email-breach check, WHOIS, a CIDR calculator, and a free no-key API. It's about 8 weeks old. I'm writing this up because one decision moved the needle more than any backlink or keyword I chased: I made the site readable by AI assistants, not just by Google.

Here's the part that surprised me. Looking at the last 28 days of analytics:

chatgpt.com referrals: 157 sessions (107 of them engaged)

Google search: 44 sessions

That's roughly 3.5x more real traffic from ChatGPT than from Google. For a small, young site with thin domain authority, that ratio is not what I expected, and it's almost entirely because of a few small files most SEO guides never mention.
