Hi all,
here is the usual weekly look at our most important readership metrics (CCing the Analytics-l mailing list too this time).
As laid out earlier, the main purpose is to raise awareness about how these are developing, call out the impact of any unusual events in the preceding week, and facilitate thinking about core metrics in general. We are still iterating on the presentation (e.g. to better take seasonality into account, in particular including year-over-year comparisons) and eventually want to create dashboards for those which are not already available in that form already. Feedback and discussion continue to be welcome.
Now to the usual data. (All numbers below are averages for October 26-November 1, 2015 unless otherwise noted.)
Pageviews
Total: 525 million/day (-1.5% from the previous week)
Context (April 2015-October 2015):
(see also the Vital Signs dashboard)
1.5% is a somewhat noticeable drop, and as in the last report I ran a query for the countries with the largest changes from the previous week. Some interesting data, but not sufficient for attributing the overall drop to a particular area:
Ireland +40.2%
Romania -35.6% (previous week: +60%)
France +14.5%
Philippines -12.4% (previous week: -12.4%(!))
Mexico -10.3%
Colombia -9.2%
Ecuador -8.9%
Israel -7.7%
Malaysia -7.6%
Sweden -7.5%
Desktop: 57.7%
Mobile web: 1.2%
Apps: 41.1%
(same as previous week)
Global North ratio: 77.1% of total pageviews (previous week: 76.9%)
Context (April 2015-November 2015):
This week, instead of plotting the absolute numbers as usual, let’s chart the percentage:
It’s not a definite proof, but this chart shows a pretty clear rise (or conversely, decrease in the ratio of traffic from the Global South) during the time of the staggered HTTPS-only rollout in June.
Unique app users
Android: 1.161 million /day (-0.0% from the previous week)
Context (August-November 2015):
iOS: 278k / day (-0.7% from the previous week)
Context (August-November 2015):
As anticipated, the marked increase in new installations while the app was featured recently (see below) did not move the DAU needle much.
New app installations
Android: 37.2k/day (-1.2% from the previous week)
Daily installs per device, from Google Play
Context (August-November 2015):
iOS: 3.96k/day (-35.0% from the previous week)
Download numbers from App Annie
Context (August-November 2015):

A slightly conspicuous drop last Thursday. But most of the large week-over-week decrease came from the app having been featured in the App Store previously (see earlier weekly reports).
And since you read this far, a little reward in form of a link to a mildly amusing 1 minute video ad that mocks the data analytics mishaps of a fictitious but easily recognized large encyclopedia project ;)
