Google, as we know, serve as the top search engine for everyone, it contributes more than 97% which is increase almost 1%. Both Bing and Yahoo are decreased, but they still stay at the 2nd and 3rd spot, their combined percentage for only 2.6% for the search engine. This top 3 search engine contribute 99.89% of all total search engine, which does not change compared to 2015 statistic.
This year we see a lot of changes in term of social media as the referral. I usually share the new post to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. But I have no idea why Reddit suddenly spike to spot #3 and contributing almost 1,300 hits. All social media channel increase compare to last year, except Google+ which now I start to doubt that people still use Google+. Overall Stack Exchange is lower compared to other channels, but looking at the number of sessions, it still increases by 40%. Total top six social media contribute more than 97% of total social media as the referral site.
* total 2015 consist of StackExchange, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, Blogger (13.45%), and Facebook. Reddit not count
** based on some conversations in internet, hit from Reddit maybe fake
There is no change for top 3 countries of visitors, US visitors increase to 49% of the total visitor, India stays the same contributing 20% of visitors, while UK visitors decrease by more than 13%. Russia suddenly jumps to spot #4 with almost 3% of total visitors, while visitors from Australia and Canada also decrease. French removed from the list as they're dropped into #7. Top six countries represent more than 81% of the blog visitors.
* total 2015 consist of US, India, UK, Australia, Canada, and France (1.94%), Russia not count

From cities perspective, all 6 cities in 2016 stay the same compared to 2015, only New York take over London in spot #4. Top 3 cities visitor increase around 1.5-2.5%, New York has a big jump of 22%, while London drops to 15%. Top 6 cities still represent more than 20% of total visitors.
This statistic includes access from desktop and mobile. Total top 5 web browsers still contribute more than 99% of the visitors. There are few changes in top 5 web browsers, with Safari take over Internet Explorer and Edge appear as a new web browser. Edge included in Windows 10 gain spot #5 replacing Opera. Safari getting stronger with the growth of MacOS and iOS users, Chrome surely becomes more popular and contribute close to 79% of users, Firefox still in spot #2 but in overall lower more than 33%, and Internet Explorer down by more than 32%. Opera actually still stay with 0.46%, but Edge surpasses it in 2016.

In terms of operating system, there is no change in top 5 web browsers. MacOS gain more than 4% increase, but Windows down by more than 4%. Access from mobile device increase by 56% for iOS and 36% for Android, compared to 2015 growth for almost 50% for both iOS and Android. But total mobile access still less than 7.5% of the total of visitors. This makes sense because most of the visitors access this blog when they have difficulty in configuring Salesforce. iOS users almost reach 71%, while total Android users more than 29%.
There are no changes to the top 5 screen resolutions, 1366 x 768 still the standard for the normal laptop nowadays, it down less than 1% for our visitors in 2016. However 1920 x 1080 keep gaining more popularity with 9% increase in 2016, we see this resolution in high-end laptop and most of the LCD monitor. In contrary 1600 x 900 which is an older standard resolution for LCD monitor drop more than 13%, and 1280 x 1024 even older resolution drop by more than 20%.
Top 5 Popular Page in 2016
For popular pages, 4 of 5 pages from 2015 still stay in 2016, except 1 new post created in late 2015 make it to #3 - users are looking on how to log a case to Salesforce support. Salesforce SOQL Query (#1 in 2014 and #5 in 2015) is no longer so popular, it drops to #12.
