Site Traffic in 2025

2025 was the first full year I had basic analytics on this site (via Goatcounter), so I figured I would review the most popular posts/pages. I also wrote more in 2025 than in (any?) prior years.

Note

This is of course based on incomplete data, as many people (including myself) now browse the web with tracking blockers. But directionally this should be indicative of traffic.

This data is publicly available here.

Totals

~30,140 visits in the year, with a peak of 7,613 on 2025-08-11.

I published 215 blog posts, 23 replies, 192 notes, 343 exercises, and 7 proverbs. I hope to publish more than that in 2026.

Top Posts

I’m actually kind of embarrassed that the Jury Duty post is so popular. In retrospect, I only half stand behind it; I think it’s too flippant.

I’m happy the UAI post did so well - it was a concept I developed and anchored on at work all year and I think it has been immensely useful for aiming my teams.

Top Referrers

I think the high proportion of (unknown) referrals is coming from internally-shared links to my site. I love that! It tells me that people find my writing useful enough to share themselves rather than just consuming it from a feed or something. I want my work to be a helpful reference.
