Good charts come in threes

We have been accumulating stats data for about twenty months and it’s a pretty massive amount of data. (Just ask Barry.) Today we present you with two new ways to look at your historical stats data. I proudly give you Weeks and Months!

You will find three new links above the main stats chart: Days, Weeks, and Months. Click them to switch charts. I don’t think there is much to explain about this so I’ll just throw screen shots at you. Enjoy!

Three charts

    Sweeeeeeeet! Fantastic!

    Now the only question is: how far back does it go in months? One year? What about in weeks? Six months? And what about my top referrers and top posts ever? (It’s not that I’m never happy, it’s just that I don’t want you guys to get bored ;) )

    Aug 22nd at 12:47 am

    This is just great!

    Now, if you could also add a feature which allows us to define starting and end date of those stats, it would be even greater!

    I’ve just noticed the links and liked the new way the charts display the stats. Now we can see how our blogs have been doing in a year or even more. A very useful feature for seeing the trends and fine-tuning the blogs. Thanks!

  21. Sankar
    Aug 22nd at 1:05 am

    More charts means more intersting ways to analyze the traffic… keep it going.

    My wishlist: I would like to see the post hit count of each post (which is already available in the dashboard) to be visible in respective post page… :)

    Hi, Andy,

    As a newbie, I’m depressed at the tiny numbers of my own chart, but grateful that the daily stats that roll off haven’t gone away, tiny as they are.

    Thanks, WordPress is terrific!

    VERY good idea! I’d often wondered how to track the trend over a term longer than 30 days. Now I can do it at a glance. Well done.

  59. Manuel Reis

    Cool. As a dedicated stats-gigolo, I have been looking back over my stats trying to remember what they were like a couple of months ago – then this morning – BINGO – it is there for me. Wonderful WordPress. Oh, may I hack in to your stats and steal 1% of them? :)

    How come my monthly chart doesn’t go up to sixteen million? For that matter, your weekend fall-off on the daily chart is about 125,000. I wouldn’t mind that on my monthly chart…

    Show offs! (But yeah, thanks!)

    Thanks, Andy. This is great. I’ve been changing the digits in the Top Posts url to see my past stats, but this makes it a lot easier.

    I’ll take the stats for the second screenshot, btw, even with the dropoff. ;)
