Happy New Year 2021! To follow the yearly tradition, I would like to share some statistics of SimplySfdc in 2020 -- here is the statistic for 2019.
In 2020, lesser blog posts are written compared to 2019 (24% less), but the total Pageviews and total Sessions are increased quite significantly.

Similar to previous years, organic search contributes as the largest portion of traffic source in 2020, this year, organic search contributes more than 82% of the total traffic -- a huge increase of more than 12%. While Direct traffic drops for almost 10%, traffic from Referral contribute more percentage, but Social is weaker in 2020.

This year, LinkedIn takes over as the #1 contributor from the social media channel, LinkedIn's traffic is more than double of Twitter's traffic, this makes sense as my LinkedIn networks grow exponentially, compare to grow of my Twitter follower, not many changes of traffic from Blogger and Facebook in 2020.

Chrome again proves as the default web browser for everyone, and this year, it still increases for more than 5% of all visitors. Safari takes over to secure #2 by adding a small percentage, Firefox stays at #3 but with a lower percentage.
