Technical wrapup. Coffee shop sessions up from 1075 to 1098 between Monday 6th July and Monday 13th July. (Google Analytics result), and no appreciable change in pattern during the 24 hour day. Pageviews up from 5245 to 8725; busiest hour from 503 up to 1776 (19:00 to 20:00 - busiest time both Mondays). Tentative conclusion - our regulars who check in each day were here, perhaps a handful of extras. But they stayed around far more - a quick visit turned into a prolonged stay. Here are some of the graphs which I usually look at, compared from one week to the next. As far as I can see, 6th July was a typical Monday.
Please note the difference of scale units. Top, 6th July; lower, 13th July in each case.
How many pages did visitors look at on average while they were here?
How long did people stop around on average?
How many pages were viewed?
How many sessions were active?
In terms of server loading, effect was minimal - the orange curve on this graph is for yesterday and you'll note huge spikes which are routine for backups and other regular procedures stand out - and the curve for when Ben was around is only fractionally above other days at that time of day
Finally, my server log file size graph - up a bit yesterday, but no "great shakes" - rather as I would have expected - these last two graphs are server-wide and the Coffee Shop is only a small part of the load on there.
In conclusion, useful and easy to do again - me thinks just occasionally to make it a real event. Invites to answer questions at such sessions perhaps to the
RMT▸ and other unions, to the
DfT» , to Network Rail and to Transport Focus, as well as managers / directors at First?
