This report breaks down the number of visitors by city. Last year, London topped the list, with Aberdeen second. This year Aberdeen has fallen to fifth place, behind Edinburgh, London, Glasgow and Paisley. Sao Paolo delivered 45 visits, with other Brazilian cities high on the list. |

Here we see what visitors declare to be their language. The majority declare US English, with GB English coming second. This might be explained by people buying computers set up for US English and never bothering to change them to GB English. Interesting to see one sixth of visits come from Brazilian Portuguese speakers. |

How long do visitors stay once they reach our website? You might be shocked to learn that over 75% of our visitors stay on the site for less than ten seconds. It is reassuring, though, that many stay for several minutes, indicating either that they are actually reading the information, or perhaps that they've gone off to make a cup of tea. |

|
What combination of browser and operating system do our visitors use? As last year, Chrome is the most popular, followed by Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox. Many others appear in the list, including mobile phone browsers. |

How do people find our website? This chart shows how many came via search engines ("organic"), and how many from links on other websites ("referral"). The entry "(direct)/(none)" indicates visitors who either typed the web address explicitly, or had already bookmarked the site. From the referrals in this chart you can see clearly which other websites are delivering visitors to our site through effective links, and by elimination you can work out who isn't and perhaps should be. |

A bit more detail on those who arrive via search engines — what did they actually type in the search engine to find us? Most of those near the top of the list are entirely predictable; some of those near the bottom are quite mystifying. |
|
|
Which pages on our site did people look at? These are listed by page title, so "Music Centeral", the most popular page, is the front page. |
