And the 'lively' forum discussions which seem to have been quiet of late!

To echo the comments of others: thank you Richard. It seems to me that, since its inception, the website has not only reflected the community of Charlbury, it has positively enhanced it! Just look at the number of businesses which can promote themselves and the number of volunteer groups who can make themselves known through the website directories.

Not to mention the thousands of meetings and events that have been publicised on the site over the years. What would we do without it? Can't imagine what that would be like....

I agree. It's a fabulous resource for the local community. And as I've admitted before, I'm sort of addicted to checking it throughout the day. I'm probably largely responsible for pushing up the site views vs unique visitor stats!

Total agreement, Rachel. Thank you, Richard.

Busiest day ever on the Charlbury website

Thursday 5th August was a new all-time record for the Charlbury website in terms of site visitors.

During the day, charlbury.info had 2,529 site views, 14,428 individual page views, and 1,185 unique visitors – an increase of over 50% compared to the same time two years ago. (A “unique visitor” represents someone visiting the site at least once in that period, so if you visited the site five times in a day, you’d still only count as one.)

In a typical month, the site now consistently attracts 9,500 unique visitors and around 60,000 site visits, all from a town with a population of just 3,000. Although many users read the site without being logged in, over 1,100 users with verified email addresses have logged onto the site in the last six months – over a third of the population of Charlbury.

The site is made up entirely of user contributions – so thank you, as always, to everyone who contributes and makes it what it is.
