Until Wednesday, how many guests on the forum were up to 250 guests and since Thursday the admin has updated the phpbBB 3.3.5 forum and from Thursday till today I can only see up to 50 guests, why so little? Something's wrong and it's weird. What to do to get so more guests because there were up to 250 guests on the forum before the forum update.

Those numbers go up and down all the time. Sometimes you get bots visiting all the time, then they might not come back again for weeks.

The number of online visitors is only bots inclusive?

It's anyone or anything that isn't logged in.

If it's happened straight after an update, have you checked that your site is working all fine? No changes to anything in ACP like Permissions or View Online Time Span etc.? 🤷‍♀️

For our site it's pretty consistent 500 to 1000 guests unless certain pages are broken or we've made changes in our .htaccess to block certain bots or whatever.

Also have you noticed any drops in your Google Analytics since the update?
