[postgis-devel] Website Redo change to Hugo

[Regina Obe]

Yah if we can find a free-for-OSS plan that would be great or go back to
good old log processing using something like awstats, grafana, or munin. 

 

I do wonder though how misleading the below stats are aside from the
documentation stats.

The documentations stats tell us what people are mostly using., but the ones
that come up at the top are predictable. I can tell that just by looking at
past days of logs.

 

The 2019 uptick I think was an infrastructure change so not a true
reflection of traffic changing.

 

There is just so much that is drowned out now by other sources, it is really
hard to get a clear picture looking at stats of our website or popularity.

 

e.g Most people get their PostGIS from package maintainers, docker, or
DbaaS. On top of that DbaaS have largely forked our docs, so I suspect
people don't even come to our site for docs as much as they used to. 

 

The desktop / mobile difference I am surprised.  I would have expected more
mobile, but then again if I'm a new user looking at postgis, it's probably
to look at the manual or when I'm at work and so I wouldn't be using my
phone for that. It's not like twitter / facebook where I just want to blow
away an hour of time while I'm waiting on some line.

 

Thanks,

Regina

Losing analytics just means losing another data point on project popularity.
Not that we're making good use of the data points we have now...

 

About 100,000 sessions per month.

A large amount of Chinese traffic, our second biggest language and second
biggest country too.

About 3500 active users per day.

About 10000 pages views per day.

Most popular 2nd level page: /install

90% of users still on desktop, 9% mobile, 1% tablet

 

On the one hand... I never look and never share these stats. On the other...
they are kind of useful in thinking about what to work on in the web
presence, and without analytics we wouldn't have them. Maybe there's a
non-google analytics SaaS with a free-for-OSS plan we can plug into so that,
even if we are gathering web stats we are at least not doing it into the maw
of a huge cross-linker and leverager.
