This site went live in 2015 and hasn't changed too much since then. Participating agencies have their google analytics data collected by GSA, which is hosting this webpage.<p>It's very useful, and I've referred to this site many times over the years (probably bc a couple sites I've worked on are in the top 50!).<p>For those people wanting other awesome and informative govt sites, take a look at <a href="https://www.usaspending.gov/" rel="nofollow">https://www.usaspending.gov/</a>, which has all government contracts data easily searchable (and bookmarkable).<p><a href="https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/03/19/how-we-built-analytics-usa-gov/" rel="nofollow">https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/03/19/how-we-built-analytics-usa-go...</a>
Under "Visitor locations right now," 1% are coming from Graceville. As far as I can tell, that's either a town of 4k in Australia, 2k in Florida, or there are two Gracevilles in Minnesota with a few hundred people. Any idea what's up?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this shows that in the last 90 days 5.06 billion visits came from 31.3% Windows while 1.1% were from GNU/Linux. If we assume that both groups visit government websites equally often, then for every GNU/Linux user there exist (31.3/1.1) = 28.5 Windows users. Scary stuff.
Yes, the only place with less visitors than the ‘Department for Housing and Urban Development’ is the ‘National Science Foundation’.<p>Sign of the times?
Looks like it converts URLs to lower-case in the "Top Pages" list. One of the most visited sites right now is listed as <a href="https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webblaunch/whereiswebb.html" rel="nofollow">https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webblaunch/whereiswebb.html</a> but that's a 404. Actual URL has a capital L: <a href="https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.html" rel="nofollow">https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.html</a>
From the data at <a href="https://analytics.usa.gov/data/live/browsers.json" rel="nofollow">https://analytics.usa.gov/data/live/browsers.json</a>, Microsoft Edge has more than 2x the users of Firefox (322,890,632 vs 143,040,483).
Breakdown:<p>By device type:<p>Mobile 53.7%<p>Desktop 44.1%<p>Tablet 1.9%<p>By browser:<p>Chrome 48%<p>Safari 36.2%<p>Edge 6.4%<p>Firefox 2.8%<p>My personal conclusions:<p>Tablets remain a niche product, Firefox is dead, and Edge will be dead in a few years if it can't eat more market share, which it won't.
Ack. I've used PubMed for over a decade (since it was taught as the de facto way to search the science literature in my Canadian university) and it never occurred to me that it was a US federal government website :facepalm:
When it says "now", how "now" do they mean? I've refreshed a few times and the number hasn't changed (171,533). I went to cisa.gov (disabled all my blockers) but the number here is still the same over here.
In state government, many desktops are set up with the agency's website as the browser homepage with no way to change it. I would think federal government is the same, that alone might skew some of these statistics.
As someone pointed out in another thread, there is something fishy going on with these with a high percentage of usage coming from Graceville. Who knows if they are spoofing user agents and what not.
