Website traffic to the Chestertons.gi website continues to grow year on year and a new peak record has been set in 2019.
Records have been kept since 2015 of the number of unique users accessing our website each month (return visits by the same user within the month do not count) and the total number of sessions these users have on our website (return visits count as another session).
Our best month for traffic since records began was in March 2019, with the number of users up 6% and number of sessions up 3% over the previous best month in May 2018. September 2019 was also a great month, our best September ever, our fourth best month ever and 34% (users) and 37% (sessions) increase over September 2018.
In the year to date, January to September 2019, the number of unique users in the whole period (ie those returning during the nine months counted only once) was 13% up on the same nine months in 2018. The number of sessions up 7%.
In terms of location of website users in the first 9 months of the year, 41% were in Gibraltar, 25% in the UK and 12% in Spain. This distribution has not changed materially since the same period in the prior year.
CEO Mike Nicholls said “These website stats reflect a successful Chestertons’ business in a successful Gibraltar. Despite the uncertainty of Brexit, interest in Chestertons Gibraltar continues to grow with volumes increasing in virtually all measures. Furthermore, users from 150 different countries have used our site in 2019 so far, reflecting our truly international outreach.”
