Blog Statistics

I am always interested to find out which are my most popular posts and where in the world my readers are. Blogger and Google keep stats on various aspects of this for me, and this page is an overview of key statistics. It is my intention to update this annually (or thereabouts). Most recent update 4 Jan 2026.

Popular posts.
This is a table showing my most popular posts. I'm tracking the total views for posts which have been viewed more than 1000 times for now.

Google Analytics Report
Goggle analytics lets me know where blog visitors are located. This table shows the top ten visitor locations for 2025. Viewers in these countries account for 94% of page views and 79% of the sessions in 2025.

Country	Page Views	Sessions	Pages/ session	Users	Engagement time	2024
United Kingdom	1260	254	5.0	304	1m 27s	1
China	1118	143	7.8	1131	0s	-
Canada	702	119	5.9	162	33s	3
United States	442	93	4.8	330	32s	2
Australia	222	43	5.2	31	17m 02s	6
Russia	93	32	2.9	22	2m 13s	5
Ireland	85	16	5.3	21	2m 08s	7
Netherlands	79	17	4.6	24	1m 56s	9
Spain	73	3	24.3	6	5m 49s	-
Japan	43	6	7.2	9	38s	-

The last column shows where that country was in the 2024 table.
It is interesting to see that China has appeared in the table for the first time, but at zero seconds engagement time, I suspect this is bot activity rather than activity by real people.

This table shows that my in-year views are higher than previous years. My key difference in year is putting some post details on Instagram. I'm not sure if the two are related.
