Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 14% below a year ago, and 35% below the February 2026 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 12%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
