Monthly Raw Web Traffic Data

Yearly Raw Web Traffic Data

End of Year Analysis

The 2022 data looks bleak, but we are under the impression that a lot of the traffic from 2021 and before was pretty much double counted as Awstats viewed HTTP and HTTPS requests as separate traffic. We fixed that by redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS in 2022.

Nevertheless, we do still think traffic was down in 2022 from 2021. We hope this is going to change as we embrace the Indieweb, continue restoring the archives - now our news page, and continue to evaluate automated sitemap generators.

Kevin Tracy has requested I share his lack of concern with all of you about this. The following is a quote from Kevin:

"2022 and 2023 traffic are really only representative of a few months of content creation. In 2023, we're going to try to create content more consistently throughout the year, like we were doing in 2019 and 2020. We also changed how traffic was counted this year; which had an immediate negative impact on traffic statistics. Besides, it's important to keep things in perspective. 12,370 visitors is pretty good for a glorified personal website."

Although Kevin Tracy feels that way, those in the Ministry of Propaganda, who are responsible for much of the content generation and those of us in the Ministry of Information Technology who are responsible for making this website as epic as we can for Kevin, do take the traffic numbers very personally. We're not happy about the numbers.

More web design changes will likely be underway, but we're going to take stock of what we have, finish restoring the archive, and move with deliberate purpose. We're very grateful for the benevolence and patience of Kevin Tracy.
