July Site Updates

I have not published a site updated for a while now, however some changes have happened that I thought were notable.

Uptime has been great 99.78% uptime over the last 30 days (that was 10 instances of the site going down for more than 5 minutes), 99.02% over the last 6 months (85 drops of connectivity). This is great uptime considering that we only have one server, and we have no UPS battery backup or backup networking hardware. Also, during the last two months, the router that the server is connected to has been failing resulting in most of the downtime. Zylblog is on a new router now and we are back to getting our “normal” super-fast connection (we are on fiber).
Our internet connection peaks at 54Mbps down, 47.94Mbps up, and usually doesn’t drop below 20/20Mbps up and down. The connection slows as it gets later in the afternoon into the evening. The new router significantly improved this as well.

As of June 27th, our visitors have gone up compared to previous months of this year. We typically get a small amount of returning visitors, but our returning visitors has increased to about 13.19% of our traffic. The page-per-visit ratio is 1.16. As new unique visitors have gone up, so has the average time spent on the site. For the last year of our .com domain, the percentage of new visitors has remained fairly stead, it is finally dropping in place of those revisiting.

Stats for the site:
Our top page continues to represent non-technology. Accordion Fingering Chart has been our number one page ever since it was published on October 7th, 2009, back before Zylblog ran on a typical domain (zylstrablog.co.nr, which still works).
Our top refer is one of our sister-sites, Winfix, which is a search-driven site. The IP address 66.172.101.250 is also us, as well as Zylblog.com.
Winfix appears because many articles link back to this site. Also, internal links clicked leading to other pages on Zylblog would result in Zylblog.com being a refer. Zylblog.co.nr is the main reason 66.171.101.250 would appear, followed by the fact that many links on the web linking to us still use the IP address by itself.
