The data I’m presenting was gathered through an instance of Matomo which is installed locally on the LWP’s server. Matomo is a powerful and modern platform which focuses heavily on [[Project:Privacy policy|privacy]]. No personal data is collected, meaning that all the information we keep record of is anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual people.

How do people find the LWP? Unsurprisingly enough, in 2024 the relative and absolute majority of users (60%) got to us from search engines. There was also, however, a very significant number of direct entries (34%): these are returning users who have bookmarked the website in their browser or know the URL and type it in the address bar. A relatively small number of visits came from links in other websites (5%) and social media (1%).

Unfortunately, the data from 2024 cannot be compared easily with that from 2023. This is because, due to a technical mishap, the data from the second half of 2023 was not collected reliably. However, a quick comparison can be drawn with 2022—the first year of the LWP’s life.
Unfortunately, the data from 2024 cannot be compared easily with that from 2023. This is because, due to a technical mishap, the data from the second half of 2023 was not collected reliably. However, a quick comparison can be drawn with 2022—the first year of the LWP’s life.


The data from 2022 (which was collected using Open Web Analytics instead of Matomo) shows that the total number of pageviews for that year was 33,400 (an average of 92 per day). 11,000 of those, however, were concentrated in the first 15 days of the year, immediately following the launch of the project and an announcement on Twitter which went viral (a staggering 733 pageviews per day). The average for the rest of the year was actually around 64 visits per day.

The average for the rest of the year was actually around 64 visits per day.


Overall, the data hints to a steep increase in traffic between 2022 and 2024 (+146%). The same can be seen by comparing the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023 (for which reliable data is available): 17,561 pageviews versus 23,100 pageviews (+32%).
