Ecommerce absorbs 44.8% of the POST requests Akamai traced to verified AI crawlers
A GET asks a site for a page and a POST tells it to act, so the change Akamai measured over 30 days puts verified AI bots on the request type behind store logins, carts and checkouts. Akamai did not break those requests down by action; retailers have that in their own logs.
