Blog statistics for 2023
Dear readers,
I wish you a happy new year 2024.
In 2023 I published 30 articles on this blog.
New web hosting
Since May 2023 (Blog moved to https://blog.apdu.fr/) the blog is hosted on my own server and no more on Google blogger servers.
I needed some time to to develop tools to extract statistics. So this statistics article is not my first article of the year as I usually do.
Moving to my own server was a very good choice. I use only Free Software (vim, nginx, Nikola and many others) and I can exploit the nginx logs as I want. It is also possible to easily search and (mass) edit old articles.
Google analytics (version 4) is now too complex for my use case. My intersest is to know what are the most read articles. awffull, a fork of Webalizer, can do that for me.
Statistics
I wrote a small Python script to extract data from each month awffull HTML stat pages.
By month
Only the top 5 articles.

Only the top 20 articles.
Analysis
With no surprise the #1 is Blog moved to https://blog.apdu.fr/.
I am surprised to see articles about the ATR parsing. I guess that is because these articles are linked from my Smart card ATR parsing online tool.
#4 is about
pcsc_scanon Windows. Maybe I should sell this tool on the Windows store? :-)The top 20 contains only 3 articles published in 2023. This means my old articles are still very valuable.
