Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are about level with a year ago, and 26% below the December 2024 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

3How many people went looking

People typed a site’s name into Google 21% more often than in October 2025 (+21%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 21%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 11 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was Base44 (+2313%); the steepest fall was at Budibase (-86%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
