The number of users who visited the Calliope website in 2021 was up by 67% from visitor numbers in 2020. By comparison, the year on year increase over the previous two years was 18.5% (2020) and 53% (2019). In real terms the number of site users was reported to be 47,480 compared to roughly 15,200 in 2018 (when we started working with Calliope).
Note: the discrepancy between the 71% shown in the screenshot below is due to 1,000 visitors that were self referrals (due to an issue with a staging site URL being left on the main site). But without these visitors the increase in traffic was still the highest we have seen so far in the past 4 years.

The goal of Increasing site visitors appears to have been achieved.
