Site Statistics
As of 28 November 2025
Because nothing says “healthy use of free time” like counting your own words, images and accidental Google traffic.
1. Content Overview
These are the core numbers behind the site at the time of the last update. They change whenever I remember to come back here and prod them.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total words across the site | 86,817 |
| Words actually published | 85,829 |
| Words hiding in drafts | 988 |
| Estimated total reading time | 5 hours, 47 minutes |
| Pages created (published / unpublished) | 212 (207 / 5) |
| Posts created (published / unpublished) | 37 (37 / 0) |
| Average words per page | 395 |
| Average words per post | 112 |
In short: I write quite a lot, most of it ends up published, and the pages are where the rambling really takes hold.
2. Wordiest Pages
The following pages are where things clearly got out of hand. Approach with snacks.
| Page | Word count |
|---|---|
| Miscellaneous | 2,206 |
| McLetters | 2,129 |
| Ovomorph (Alien Egg) | 2,073 |
| Work and Jobs | 1,795 |
| Roman Centurion | 1,789 |
| TARDIS | 1,682 |
| College Years | 1,603 |
| Stormtroopers | 1,578 |
| K6 Telephone Box | 1,324 |
| Infancy & Childhood | 1,297 |
3. Media Library
| Total images uploaded | 3,872 |
| Approximate image data volume | ~3.5 GB |
A completely normal amount of imagery for one person, and not at all the behaviour of someone who gets carried away documenting things.
4. Visitors & Devices
Recent stats come from Google’s Site Kit, which insists on 90-day and 28-day windows and refuses to tell me anything “all time” without leaving WordPress.
Visitors (last 90 days)
| Visitors | About 1,200 |
| Search impressions | 1.1K |
| Search clicks | 10 |
| Unique visitors from search | 632 |

5. Where People Come From

| Country | Share of visitors |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom | 38.9% |
| United States | 29.7% |
| Germany | 25.1% |
| Australia | 3% |
| Others | The rest |
Whoever in Germany keeps visiting: thank you, you are statistically significant.
Traffic sources (last 28 days)
| Organic search | 60.5% |
| Direct | 26.8% |

So most visitors were looking for something else, Google misjudged things slightly, and here they are.
6. Most Popular Pages (last 28 days)
| Page | Pageviews |
|---|---|
| Home | 144 |
| About Me | 41 |

| Tusken Raider | 28 |
| Carp Girls | 26 |
| Feathers McGraw | 25 |
| Roman Centurion | 21 |
| Empire Car Graphics | 20 |
If this is evidence of anything, it’s probably that this website isn’t very well know, or very worthwhile.
7. Search Terms That Somehow Lead Here
Top queries from Google over a recent 28-day window:
- greek paving
- 1980s xmas decorations
- 1980s christmas decorations
- 80s tree topper
- alien egg layer
- alien eggs movie
- alien film egg
- alien film eggs
- alien ovomorph
- alien warrior
An unexpectedly strong showing for both festive nostalgia and alarming alien biology. I’m sure my pages weren’t what the people were ultimately wanting or expecting. But the Greek Paving has prompted a few messages over the years, as if in some way I was holding back information from the page itself.
