I've been using Counter for analytics, and it's great. It does exactly what I need, and the pricing is generous, considering you can apply it to multiple sites.

What's traffic been like for this little site? It's been good. I don't fixate on this stuff anymore, but I like checking in now and then to see what's popular and might need updating.

This year, there have been 2,503 visits.

Of these visits:

  • 1,799 from search engines
  • 54 from social networks
  • 562 are direct

Sources

  1. Google Search with 1,416 visits
  2. Yandex with 283 visits
  3. Bing with 30 visits
  4. Facebook with 28 visits
  5. Baidu with 25 visits

Countries

  1. United States with 665 visits
  2. Russia with 356 visits
  3. India with 242 visits
  4. United Kingdom with 126 visits
  5. Ireland with 89 visits

Not including the homepage, the top 5 are:

  1. Scrollable Container Controls with React
  2. Building a Table of Contents
  3. Multi-Select Checkboxes with React
  4. Multi-Select Checkboxes with React Hooks
  5. DIY RSS Feed Reader

There are few surprises there, especially with the most popular posts. Those haven't changed in a few years, but it's good to see updated versions gaining ground.

It's been a good year, considering I've not done much with the place. I plan to keep at it and ramp up the content once work has decreased in intensity. I'll see ye on the other side.
