Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 24% below a year ago, and 54% below the December 2024 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Most searched by name, US

Miles explains

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