Seasonality can't be assessed because there is no sub-year date.** The monthly, daily and hourly gold tables have the same 11 rows as the yearly one, so they add no finer detail.\n\n**Trend in volume (rendered in the yearly results above)**\n- **2014–2018: roughly flat.** Page views ran at 3.4M, 4.2M, 4.7M, 3.6M and 4.5M. Unique views stayed between about 2.0M and 3.2M.\n- **2019–2022: steady growth.** Page views rose from 6.8M to 8.0M, 8.1M and 11.1M. Entrances climbed from 14.1M in 2019 to 21.9M in 2021, then slipped to 19.6M in 2022.\n- **2023–2024: a step change.** Page views jumped to 317.9M in 2023 and 621.8M in 2024, roughly 29x and 56x the 2022 level. Entrances reached 199M and 348M.\n\n**Caveat: the 2023–2024 jump is probably not real organic growth.** Several other measures change character in the same years:\n- Average bounce rate falls from about 16.6% in 2022 to 4.2% in 2023 and 0.2% in 2024.\n- Average exit rate falls from 26.2% in 2022 to 5.9% and then 0.26%.\n- In 2024 the maximum bounce rate is only 1.75% and the maximum exit rate is 1.0%. In every earlier year both reach 100%.\n- The maximum page views for a single row is 126M in 2023 and 228M in 2024, against 5.9M in 2022. A few very large rows therefore dominate those totals.\n\nThese changes suggest a change in tracking or measurement, or a different collection method or scope, rather than a real change in audience behaviour. Row counts also rise in those years, to 7,145 and 9,192 versus 4,100 in 2022.\n\n**Other factors**\n- **Coverage changes.** The number of sites in the data grows from 1 in 2014 to 5 in 2015 and 7–9 in later years. Some of the early growth is therefore more sites being added, not more traffic per site.\n- **Average time on page.** It is noisy with no clear direction, ranging from about 40s to 69s, and is lowest in 2024.\n\n**Bottom line:** Growth is real and gradual through 2022 (about 3x from 2014 to 2022). The 2023–2024 explosion should be treated as a data or measurement discontinuity until verified. Seasonality can't be tested with this data. For trend analysis, compare 2014–2022 separately from 2023–2024."
