Statistics

[Tweak]

So, with the first month of the year over, I figured I'd start up the statistics posting again.

The statistics I'm giving here make use of the server logs to show trends and information of all visitors to the forum.

Note: All statistics are correct as of 1st February, 12:03 GMT.

Last month the forums transferred nearly 25 GIGABYTES of data and has so far experienced 97.83% uptime. This means that per visit each user downloads 641 KB of data through an average of 3.21 visits per visitor. This doesn't include over 15 GB of bandwidth from bots etc.

The busiest day this month was the 9th (over 1.05 GB) and the quietest was the 1st (over 558 MB). Interestingly the busiest days of the week are Wednesday and Saturday with the quietest being Thursday. Most visits occur around 9pm GMT (3pm Central) with the least at 10am GMT (4am Central).

According to the statistics the busiest country is the USA followed by the UK. We've also had visitors from Australia, Faroe Islands, South Africa, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, China, Singapore, Russia, Ukraine, the Netherlands, France, Norway, Germany, Malaysia, Italy, Poland New Zealand, Brazil, Argentia and Switzerland.

The top 25 users shows Angder having used the most bandwidth this month closely followed by Ratleonardewith Alistair at the bottom of the top 25 - a difference of over 2 GB of data.

When it comes to various robots and spidersGooglebot has used 6.3 GB.

Most visits last between 0 and 30 seconds (probably bots) with the next largest visit being over an hour! The average overall is about 17 minutes.

51% of users use Windows with 34% using 7 followed by 10% using 8 and then X.P with 2%. Mac accounts for 1.4% of visits with all visitors using OS X. Linux is at 10% with the majority using Android although Ubuntu and Debian are shown too. Other operating systems include iOS, PS3, Wii, Blackberry and Symbian.

When it comes to browsers Chrome has 39.9%. Firefox accounts for 39.8% of visits. IE, Safari, Opera, Mozilla, iPhone and Android are also used.

94% of users have the site bookmarked or browse directly whereas 5.2% come from Search engines. Another 0.7% are linked from various sites.

Uhh, did you mean GB?


Neat statistics though, I love seeing things like this

[SilverSolstive]

This is really fascinating. What does bandwidth mean, and how can I make mine higher on the list lol?

[Tweak]

Bandwidth (in this case) is the amount of data that is transferred. The higher the amount the more a person visits, views pictures, etc.

Another month? Already?

Due to a configuration error, the country and top visitor stats are flawed.

I'm curious, how can you tell whether or not someone came to the site directly or through a search engine/external link?

[Zarconite]

From what I could see on my old website, you have to allow web bots to add your website to their search engines,
any link clicked from a search engine will shop up in your statistics page from your website host

[Tweak]

It's based on the referral address.

[Tim Siguire]

This is really cool. So much DATA!!

When do you count everything for the month? April is not near over, yet.

[Tweak]

Dear god, it's May already?

Note: All statistics are correct as of 9th May, 12:03 GMT.

Last month the forums transferred over 42 GIGABYTES of data and has so far experienced 99.59% uptime. This means that per visit each user downloads 897167 KB of data through an average of 2.77 visits per visitor. This doesn't include over 20 GB of bandwidth from bots etc.

The busiest day last month was the 11th (over 1.88 GB) and the quietest was the 4th (over 1.01 GB). Interestingly the busiest days of the week was Friday  and Saturday with the quietest being Monday. Most visits occurred around 2am GMT (8pm Central) with the least at 9am GMT (3am Central).

According to the statistics the busiest country was the UK followed by the USA. We've also had visitors from the Seychelles and Hong Kong.

The top users were once again flawed. I will investigate the issue.

When it comes to various robots and spiders Googlebot has used 7.24 GB.
