8 Years of blogging

The first article on this blog is published on 22th of August 2008. It’s about a website which I saw at FWA. Eight years later I’m still publishing stuff here and because it is the beginning of a new year I decided to give you some statistics.

So far there are 1,308,099 unique users visited this blog. And most of those visits are in the last 3/4 years mainly because I’m writing “actively”.

so far

20% of the requests came from USA. India is on the second place:

by country

Bulgaria (the country where I live) is at 10th place with 2.31%.

I’m mainly writing technical articles so I guess it is normal to see Chrome (70%) and Firefox (18%) beating in the browsers’ competition:

by browsers

devices

Most people came from google, second Reddit and Twitter.
