do not remember the exact date, but a couple of months
ago the way for
pageviews counting was changed, using cookies, affecting the mobile web
views. This can be the cause.

mmmm... not sure what you are referring to, can you be more specific? We
have not changed the way we measure pageviews for 2 years
There are improvements/fixes continously done to the system and those get
documented here:
Without looking at it in detail there are many possible causes: removal of
"bad" pageviews (like requests for banners) or drop of traffic due to
having less bots.

Hello, Strainu.
1. Try in place of "all-access" use different platforms. You'll see, as I
expected reading your letter, that the effect you recognized appears in
"mobile-web" mostly.
2. I do not remember the exact date, but a couple of months ago the way

Thank you Igal, that must be the reason, I'll look for the change
announcement just to understand what it means exactly.
