February analytics for theorion.com shows the website continues to gain back the traffic it lost last semester when a series of problems knocked the site off-line or slowed it down for more than a month.
Of course, it's difficult to compare months to months when students were on campus for the full month of February but only a few weeks in December and a couple of weeks in January. Here are the numbers for all three:
Page views:
February - 65,782
January - 28,435
December - 30,971
Unique Visitors:
February - 29,188
January - 13,438
December - 14,180
A better measure might be averaging the days each month when students were actually on campus.
Page views per day in weeks when classes are in session:
February - 2,268
January - 1,964
December - 1,283
That last set of numbers shows The Orion website is reclaiming its lost audience. Another hopeful sign is the increase in the number of people downloading the mobile app:
Total number of app downloads:
August 10 - 521
December 2 - 1,003
March 5 - 1,251
App page views totaled 9,088 in February.
Here are the five most viewed stories on theorion.com last month:
Chico State journalism student dies - 7,342 page views
