Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 21% above a year ago, and 7% below the February 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 28%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
