Traffic to our web site fluctuates significantly through the year. As in past years, traffic data gradually increased during the first four months of the year, reaching a peak in late April. It then started to decline. We call this the "summer slump" and attribute it to students finishing their academic year, and people generally leaving their computers and enjoying the warm weather. As in past years, traffic started to rise again in early September.
* Numbers in bold are the maximum values during 2004.
** On MAR-11, we switched our web site to a higher capacity dedicated server.
The Wusage statistical program was not initialized properly and thus did not
initially compute weekly data.
Notes:
In the above table:
 | Total hits: The numbers of files downloaded from our site by visitors during the 28 days ending on the date shown. These included text files, background files, button files, etc. These data are not particularly significant because they are influenced by the web design. They are often emphasized by webmasters, because they are the largest common measurement of web site traffic. |
| % Increase: The percentage increase over the corresponding 28 day period in the previous year, for the preceding column. |
| Number of page views: The total number of times that pages were viewed by visitors during the preceding 28 days. This includes our home page, menus and essays. |
| Number of distinct hosts: The number of unique computers from which our visitors accessed our web site during the preceding 28 days. The number of unique visitors would presumably be much greater than this. |
| To estimate the monthly data, multiply the total hits, page views or distinct hosts by 1.09. |
