JamesWiseman.com – July 2010 Browser Stats

jameswiseman Programming, Web Hosting Add your comment

Here are few snippets from the monthly stats of this site from June 2010. For a full breakdown of browser stats, follow this link.

The stats are from the AWStats log analyzer tool on the control panel of my hosting account.

Here are the stats from the most significant browser hits above 1%.

Internet Explorer 118575 50.1% (-4.8%)
FireFox 54273 22.9% (+2.2%)
Google Chrome 34968 14.7% (+2%)
Safari 14834 6.2% (+0.1%)
Mozilla 3283 1.3% (+0.1%)
Opera 2917 1.2% (+0.4%)

MSIE took a massive hit this month, with the shortfall mainly being made up with Firefox and Chrome.

MSIE

The vast majority of MSIE hits came from the three latest versions, 8, 7 and 6.

Msie 8.0 60244 25.4% (-0.3%)
Msie 7.0 37848 16.0% (-2.7%)
Msie 6.0 20358 8.6% (-0.5%)

If any message can be drawn from this, it’s that some people are forsaking IE altogether when they change from IE7. IE6 remains quite static, which would seem to indicate that people are quite reticent to drop this browser, although I suspect a large number of corporate users will be dragging their heals in upgrading.

A massive five hits from MSIE 2.0, again this month. It celebrates it 15th birthday in November of this year!

Firefox

A big winner from the apparent IE abandonment. There was a showing from Firefox 4.0.

Chrome

Chrome up again this month. It has now risen from just over 10% to just under 15% in a space of two months. Keep an eye on this!

Here are few snippets from the monthly stats of this site from June 2010. For a full breakdown of browser stats, follow this link.

The stats are from the AWStats log analyzer tool on the control panel of my hosting account.

Here are the stats from the most significant browser hits above 1%. MSIE is way out in the lead, but somewhat down I would suspect on where it was a couple of years ago.

Internet Explorer 140230 54.9% (-1.2%)
FireFox 52953 20.7% (no change)
Google Chrome 32572 12.7% (+2.3%)
Safari 15640 6.1% (-0.5%)
Mozilla 3167 1.2%
Opera 2267 0.8% (-0.4%)

MSIE

The vast majority of MSIE hit came from the three latest versions, 8, 7 and 6.

Msie 8.0 66337 25.7% (+0.2%)
Msie 7.0 50396 19.7% (-2.5%)
Msie 6.0 23391 9.1% (+1.0%)

One hit from MSIE 2.0, again this month. It  celebrates it 15th birthday in November of this year! Who still uses that? There was also a curious hit from MSIE 999.1 which is most likely a spoofed browser agent. Read about this more here.

For further reading if you are interested, David Bradley has written more about site stats and MSIE 2.0 on his ScienceText Bog

Vexingly enough MSIE 6 saw a something of a resurgence, up 1%. When will people realise that its funeral has already been held?

Firefox

No real movement here. Just 8 hits from Firefox 3.8.

Chrome

Chrome saw the biggest gains this month (+2.3%). I suspect this is due in part to the fact that I have started administering this blog with it.

JamesWiseman.com – May 2010 Browser Share Stats

jameswiseman Site Stats, Web Hosting Add your comment

May 2010 was the first full month that this blog was online, so I’d thought i’d share some stats from this. This is something I hope to do each month.

The stats are from the AWStats log analyzer tool on the control panel of my hosting account.

All

Here are the stats from the most significant browser hits above 1%. MSIE is way out in the lead, but somewhat down I would suspect on where it was a couple of years ago.

Internet Explorer 184109 56.1%
FireFox 67916 20.7%
Google Chrome 34301 10.4%
Safari 21752 6.6%
Opera 3943 1.2%

MSIE

The vast majority of MSIE hit came from the three latest versions, 8, 7 and 6. It’s particularly nice to IE6 trailing off, although not as quickly as I would have liked.

Msie 8.0 84335 25.7%
Msie 7.0 72962 22.2%
Msie 6.0 26676 8.1%

And a small bit of wierdness: One hit from MSIE 2.0, which celebrates it 15th birthday in November of this year! Who still uses that?

Firefox

There are, quite simply, millions (62, actually) of different versions of Firefox that browsed this site in May 2010, ranging from 1.0.1 (2 hits) to 3.6.4 (57 hits). The largest number of hits came from version 3.6.3 and accounted for 12% of all browser hits.
