Real Web Site Statistics – Web Browsers – Who Uses Which Browser

These statistics are from one of my web sites, a technical site giving factual information for students, engineers, industry and the like. Visitors each month are from over 120 countries and the Acorn demographics show the majority of visitors are in the A, AB groups.

The site showed over 480,000 page views in January and a million plus hits, though hits really mean nothing. Each page contains many items, sometimes 25 or more, and each item is counted as a hit.

Web site stats are full of detail and can supply the owner with a lot of information on how the visitor is using your web site.

When the site designer knows such information as the type of operating system used, the type of web browser, the resolution of their monitor and how long they stay viewing each page, etc., the web designer can tune his site to meet their needs. However, until your web site is popular it is hard to gain sufficient data to make a decision. Hence this submission of my data to help others with their design.

Firefox is continuing the expansion of use by the public at the expense of Internet Explorer. A year back Firefox was used by 10% of visitors and now that has doubled.

Google Chrome is the new kid on the block and stands at only 0.6% at the moment but that could rise over the next few months.

More mobile phones are being used for browsing so a sub-set of my site is under development to cater for them.
