1How many visits
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+21%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-3%).

Without it, visits would be down 20.9% on a year ago instead of up 20.5%. Perchance AI Image Generator made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 80,288 of the market's 158,286 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 18.2% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 21% above a year ago, and 6% below the June 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.
