ANALYTICS ARE BACK
Our analytics providers were down from June 12 until the evening of June 14. We have access again, apparently without any data loss during the shutdown.

As of early June, we have eliminated from our counts all visits to our site that did not result in a meaningful engagement with the content. While the total number of visits to our site continues to grow (in the last 30 days, it was over 105,000 visits), only about a third of those visits resulted in a meaningful engagement, such as opening an article or clicking on a menu. The other visits are likely bot traffic. From now on, we’ll only tally meaningful engagement.

Number of Engaged Page Views Last 30 Days: 29,494 (- 1532)
Number of Engaged Page Views Last Week: 6744 6550 (+239)

Number of Engaged Sessions Last 30 Days: 18,972 (-1291)
Number of Engaged Sessions Last Week: 4323 (+67)

Number of Engaged Users Last 30 Days: 12,125 (-1142)
Number of Engaged Users Last Week: 2924 2980 (-56)
