My question is why is かな being used in this sentence? The person is asking me
why I come/came to he site? or wondering why I came to the site? Would かな be
added after the の? I am used to seeing かな used in statements not questions.

question
meaning words phrases
What does どうしてこのサイトに来てるのかな？
かな at the end of a question sentence ending with の is a bit of a reflexive
ending that provides the nuance of wondering about what is being asked.

Consider, then:

> どうしてこのサイトに来てるの？  
>  Why did you come to this site?

vs.

> どうしてこのサイトに来てるのかな？  
>  I wonder why you have come to this site.
