There are also some site analytics available to rep>25k users (via /site-analytics). It is interesting enough for getting a rough idea of traffic volumes, patterns, and sources, but it's also relatively limited as a tool.

| Mar 2, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @FrançoisG.Dorais : Of your three options, my answer to #2 is yes; my answer to #1 is yes but it's contingent on the raw data being available so it's a secondary question; my answer to #3 is no, that idea hadn't crossed my mind. | |

Quite a few things can be obtained from the Data Explorer too. For how many questions get asked there is a dedicated question on that On MESE we sometimes have huge (in a relative sense) peeks of visitors (think at least an order of magnitude above the usual level). As far as I can tell "with my bare eyes" (I did not analyse this).I cannot make out any signfiicant sustained effect. | |
| Mar 2, 2016 at 6:49 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | I'm a bit unclear what you're asking. Are you asking how to measure certain things (e.g. how to confirm or debunk ideas about the effect of soft questions)? Or are you asking whether certain kind of raw data is (or could be) available to the general public? Or are you asking whether such measurements have been done (but kept quiet for some reason)? | |
