site traffic

The data got moved just fine.  

The new server operates 40x faster than the old one.  And I think google is being charmed by the faster speeds.

We will definitely have a record month.  Today we hit 4 million visits and 20 million pageviews.

Wow, great news.

More eyeballs here, more boots on the grounds in the coming year...?

Mebbe.

At the moment, I think funding for https://permies.com/bel is the best bet

What a record month!  4,629,349 visits and 23,654,603 pageviews!

Earlier I said something about at the end of 2021 hitting 190 million.  That was figuring on 20 million people per year.  

January 2024 was a record month with 2.0 million.  April 2.23 million. May 2.6.  December 2.8.  January 2025 was 4.6 million.

So ....

2022 20
2023 20
2024 25

Through 2024, 255 million.  

A quarter of a billion people have visited permies.com over all of the time we have run this site

What got me to come back and look was a treasure hunt notice. I didn't know what they were... had missed them entirely the years I'd been coming and not. After the treasure hunt finish (took about 10 minutes max) I realized that there were a lot of things here I wanted to read/look at and that permies was a resource I'd neglected. So, I've been coming back.

Not that my particulars are important, but it's an indicator I guess? For years I've been on again/off again. The treasure hunt notice from the bot is what got me to come back. Not sure how you could apply it to other things on the site, but thought I'd give my .02.
