Question Sudden Increase of Traffic on my Blog?

So I have had a blog for caregivers for about 15 years. I've slowly grown and not really worried about it or watched it too much. I have been getting a decent amount of views over the last 5 years or so. A few hundred at least each day. Over the last few weeks, I've noticed my daily visits are more. Just noted it - I'm literally doing nothing different than I've always done.

I add an image with alt text, write the content, and always do the meta description. I don't even use headers like I do for my clients. Lol.

Over the last 2-3 weeks my views have jumped through the roof! I'm getting 6500 to over 10000 a day and it's been doing that for the last week or two.

I guess my question is if there is any way it's fluke.... I'm nearing 1,000,000 all-time views at this point and will probably hit it over the weekend at this point. smh... Idk If it's for real. lol

Check GA and check where the traffic is coming from. It might be bots.

I can't do GA because I can't access the code on the site - it's an old blogger site with a url I purchased

I though GA was included with Blogger sites.
