In this study, the web traf􀅫ic was analyzed via machine learning (ML) support, and incoming traf􀅫ic was visualized after real-time classi􀅫ication, prioritizing stability and performance, which are indispensable for real-time applications.Websocket technology was used for instantaneous and fast data transfer.Processes may be blocked due to asynchronous operating structure when Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) traf􀅫ic is intensive.Synchronous operation of the system was causing both delays and negatively affecting the ef􀅫iciency of the application.To overcome this bottleneck, the developed application used asynchronous libraries instead of synchronous ones.The essential features of the study were the analysis of HTTP packets captured in real-time, classifying the packets according to whether they are safe or suspicious using ML algorithms, and real-time display of the acquired results.In this way, incoming traf􀅫ic was classi􀅫ied smartly without getting lost in thousands of log 􀅫iles.A success rate of 96.49% was attained using the logistic regression model, which is very successful in classi􀅫ication.
