Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 6% above a year ago, and 20% below the January 2025 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 31%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
