Karl’s End of Year Report

[Karl at the Science Gallery in March last year]

The figures for Broadsheet in 2013 have been ‘totted up’.

Karl saw a…

4.9% INCREASE in visits to 13.8 million
5% DROP in unique visitors to 2.9 million
6.5% RISE in pageviews to 30.1 million

Browsers

Chrome continues to be the dominant browser choice with 39% (up 6%) of users. Firefox stays in second place with 17.6% (down 4%), Safari takes third with 15.9% (down 0.1%) taking Internet Explorer’s place which now has 14.9% (down 2.9%).

iOS still accounts for 2/3rds of the mobile browser traffic to the site and Android taking most of the rest. The big winner though is Windows Phone from which pageviews exploded by 648% (for a total of 2.4% of the mobile traffic).

Apps

This year saw the release of an updated iOS app as well as new Android and Windows Phone apps. There were 8,522 downloads on iOS (for about 30K total) and 4,654 on Android. From that, there’s between 2,500 and 3,000 active users a day producing 2.5 million sessions and 15 million screen views between them. It very much seems like people dip in and out of the apps a few times a day.

Thanks all.

“A New Year’s Day walk in Mayo. It was taken on the dunes at Bertra Beach in Westport Co Mayo. The people in it are two locals Laura and Becky, and two Dubs Rachel and Mark who were up visiting for New Year’s Eve. The reason they are in the dunes is because the tide was so high there was no beach. It was taken at dusk on the 1st by myself, another Dub.”

Is This You?

For the sporadic postage this afternoon. Unforseen circumstances. ~~We should have waited until Moday to come back, in fairness~~. Normal service will resume at 4pm.
