I've just turned off Google Analytics.
There are now no third party components on this site, except those that you guys put into your posts (embedded images and videos).
This should speed things up fractionally (about 60ms per page), but better still... it will mean that nothing on this site is explicitly tracked by anyone.
Very last set of numbers out of Google Analytics:
Tuesday 3rd April had 18,694 visits from 11,692 unique visitors, viewing 163,287 pages.
In the last calendar month, there were 509,006 visits from 198,570 unique visitors, who viewed 4,200,389 pages.
Average number of pages per visit was 8.25, and the average time spent on site was 9 mins 13 seconds.
31.98% of all visits were from new visitors.
Of the visits, 79,912 were on mobile devices, and 429,094 appeared to be desktops/laptops, etc.
Of mobile visits, Android adds up to more than Apple by just a fraction. The most popular Android devices are the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S2.
An interesting stat: The most addicted 20% of visitors accounted for 42% of all pageviews. The least addicted 31% (people finding the site on Google) accounted for 12% of pageviews.
On browsers, Safari and Chrome are tied equal at 27% share each. But this is Safari on all platforms including Windows and iOS, whereas Chrome doesn't include Android Browser or IE with Chrome Frame... which would push Google's share to 34%.
IE is less then 12% share. IE9 accounts for more than half of that. IE6 is only 1% of IE share, less than 800 visits in total.
One I was pleased with: Social Engagement "Not Socially Engaged".
Demographics: 324,726 visits originated from the UK... no other place was then dominant, it's just a long tail of North America, Europe, Far East and Australia.
One last interesting fact, donors generated more average pages per visit than any other user group (21.4 pages per visit, whereas most other user groups were close to 15 pages per visit, and guests at 5.9 pages per visit).
Anyhow... done... no more tracking.
