Daily utilization metrics for data.lacity.org and geohub.lacity.org. Updated monthly

In the second quarter of 2025, mobile devices (excluding tablets) accounted for 62.54 percent of global website traffic. Since consistently maintaining a share of around 50 percent beginning in 2017, mobile usage surpassed this threshold in 2020 and has demonstrated steady growth in its dominance of global web access. Mobile traffic Due to low infrastructure and financial restraints, many emerging digital markets skipped the desktop internet phase entirely and moved straight onto mobile internet via smartphone and tablet devices. India is a prime example of a market with a significant mobile-first online population. Other countries with a significant share of mobile internet traffic include Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. In most African markets, mobile accounts for more than half of the web traffic. By contrast, mobile only makes up around 45.49 percent of online traffic in the United States. Mobile usage The most popular mobile internet activities worldwide include watching movies or videos online, e-mail usage and accessing social media. Apps are a very popular way to watch video on the go and the most-downloaded entertainment apps in the Apple App Store are Netflix, Tencent Video and Amazon Prime Video.

The global market for visitor tracking software tools is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing need for businesses to understand online customer behavior and optimize their digital strategies. The market, estimated at $5 billion in 2025, is projected to maintain a healthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% from 2025 to 2033, reaching an estimated market value of $12 billion by 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors: the rising adoption of e-commerce, the increasing complexity of online marketing campaigns, the demand for personalized user experiences, and the growing availability of sophisticated analytics tools capable of providing actionable insights from website traffic data. Major trends shaping the market include the integration of AI and machine learning for predictive analytics, the increasing use of heatmaps and session recordings for detailed user behavior analysis, and a growing focus on privacy-compliant data collection methods. However, market growth faces certain restraints. Concerns around data privacy and compliance with regulations like GDPR are impacting adoption rates. Furthermore, the competitive landscape is crowded, with both established players like Google and specialized providers like Crazy Egg vying for market share. The market is segmented by solution type (e.g., website analytics, heatmap tools, session recording), deployment model (cloud-based, on-premise), enterprise size (small, medium, large), and industry vertical. Leading companies such as Crazy Egg, Mixpanel, and FullStory are constantly innovating to improve the accuracy and depth of their offerings, while smaller companies are focusing on niche functionalities to differentiate themselves. The future success of these tools depends heavily on continuing innovation in the areas of data security, user experience, and integration with other marketing platforms.

The global website traffic analysis tool market is expected to reach $XXX million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period (2025-2033).

The market, estimated at $15 billion in 2025, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% through 2033, reaching approximately $45 billion. This growth is fueled by several key trends: the rise of cloud-based solutions offering greater scalability and accessibility, increasing sophistication of analytics capabilities (including AI-powered insights), and a growing need for comprehensive website performance monitoring. While the market exhibits strong growth potential, businesses face challenges including the increasing complexity of website analytics, the need for skilled personnel to interpret data effectively, and the rising costs associated with premium features and advanced analytics platforms. The segmentation reveals a significant presence of both SMEs and large enterprises leveraging the technology, with a clear preference toward cloud-based solutions due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Key players such as Semrush, Ahrefs, Google Analytics, and others are actively shaping the market through continuous innovation and expansion into new markets. The geographical distribution of the market reflects a strong presence in North America and Europe, driven by higher digital maturity and adoption rates within these regions. However, significant growth opportunities exist in Asia Pacific and other emerging markets, as digital infrastructure expands and businesses increasingly prioritize online presence. The competitive landscape is characterized by a mix of established players and emerging startups, leading to continuous innovation and price competition, benefiting end users. This intense competition drives the development of advanced features such as real-time analytics, predictive modeling, and integration with other marketing tools. The ongoing evolution of digital marketing itself is a major driver, requiring the constant refinement and improvement of these analytics tools to keep pace with changes in SEO, social media, and online advertising practices. This creates a dynamic environment conducive to further market expansion.

The Website Traffic Generator market is projected to reach USD 2,844.3 million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2023 to 2033. Rising demand for online traffic, increasing digital marketing investments, and the advent of new technologies are major factors driving market growth. The increasing adoption of social media platforms and the growing popularity of mobile internet usage further contribute to the demand for website traffic generators. The market is segmented by type into Referral Traffic Generators, Social Media Traffic Generators, Direct Traffic Generators, and Others.

Received: Today
Subject: New project from the product team

Hey!

I have a new project for you from the product team. Should be an interesting challenge. You can see the background and request in the email below.

I would like you to perform the analysis and write a short report for me. I want to be able to review your code as well as read your thought process for each step. I also want you to prepare and deliver the presentation for the product team - you are ready for the challenge!

They want us to predict which recipes will be popular 80% of the time and minimize the chance of showing unpopular recipes. I don't think that is realistic in the time we have, but do your best and present whatever you find.

You can find more details about what I expect you to do here. And information on the data here.

I will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, but I know you can do this without my support. If you need to make any decisions, include them in your work and I will review them when I am back.

Good Luck!

From: Product Manager - Recipe Discovery
To: Head of Data Science
Received: Yesterday
Subject: Can you help us predict popular recipes?

Hi,

We haven't met before but I am responsible for choosing which recipes to display on the homepage each day. I have heard about what the data science team is capable of and I was wondering if you can help me choose which recipes we should display on the home page?

At the moment, I choose my favorite recipe from a selection and display that on the home page. We have noticed that traffic to the rest of the website goes up by as much as 40% if I pick a popular recipe. But I don't know how to decide if a recipe will be popular. More traffic means more subscriptions so this is really important to the company.

Can your team: - Predict which recipes will lead to high traffic? - Correctly predict high traffic recipes 80% of the time?

We need to make a decision on this soon, so I need you to present your results to me by the end of the month. Whatever your results, what do you recommend we do next?

Look forward to seeing your presentation.
