Latest Stats as at 24/5/2014
============================

These figures cover April 2014.  

The visits summarised below are made by humans, 
not robots, crawlers 
or criminals pretending to be normal surfers.

Generally speaking, total visits are falling.

The first percentage covers the 16th to the 30th April, 
2014, with seven earlier figures for 2014 shown in brackets.

Windows 8 is now well past Windows XP.

Linux versions often indicate whether they are 64-bit or 32-bit.  
The 64-bit operating systems are now well ahead.  

I have read this week that already 10% of malware out there 
is now 64 bit only.

Desktops/Laptops 52% and Mobiles/Tablets 48% for April 2014.  

The total sample sizes above were 24178 and 25270.

The total searches in these samples were 13494 and 10945.

Results from Google where the search string is 
encrypted have risen sharply in the last month, 
making detailed analysis of search strings ineffective.
For the first two weeks of April it was 75% encrypted,
then a sudden jump happened on April 23rd 
and the result for the last two weeks of April was 86% encrypted.
Currently, Google's searches are running at over 88% encrypted.

Some referrer strings supplied from Yahoo do not contain 
a visible search string, but they do not claim to be using
the https: protocol.
