Just realized my portfolio site got 100 views from one company

I checked my site analytics last month and saw a single company IP had visited over 100 times, looking at my project pages. It was a firm I had a final interview with that then ghosted me. This makes me think they were seriously considering me but got hung up on something specific. Has anyone else had a potential employer deep dive your work like this before rejecting you?

Could be a bot or a background tab refreshing. Those analytics numbers get weird sometimes. Like my own site got 50 hits from a random school district in Ohio once, no idea why. Without a referral link or a specific email chain, it's hard to say they were deep diving your stuff. Might just be a recruiter leaving the page open on a lunch break.

Yeah that's a brutal sign they were stuck on a choice. Seen it before where a team will pick apart one project trying to find a reason to say no. Honestly, getting ghosted after that much interest is the real red flag about their culture.

Ghosting after that much interest is a huge red flag.

Heard this happens when they're comparing candidates... sucks they ghosted you though.
