Well for the one top ten web site that has open web logs, mobile traffic does seem to be taking off at the expense of desktops - http://www.vartmp.com/blog/2013

- asperous 13y agoWikipedia might be a weird source to get that data, since people are more likely to "quickly check wikipedia" on their phone instead of a computer, while most sites people just browse may be uneffected. More data needed.
- whatusername 13y agoConversely some people might be more likely to do in-depth research into a subject on wikipedia on a desktop than ever on a mobile phone. Agree on the more data needed.
- wildwood 13y agoThis is a percentage chart, which only shows that mobile traffic is eating into desktops' _share_ of the total traffic. This chart says nothing about whether mobile is eating into the absolute traffic that desktops are getting. More likely mobile traffic is increasing a lot, and desktop is holding steady.
- integraton 13y agoCorrect. A cursory glance at the data used for that graph http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports shows that desktop traffic has actually increased significantly in that time period (+ 25ish% for both windows and mac). For example: Feb 2012: http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2012-02/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2012-02/Squ... Feb 2013: http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2013-02/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2013-02/Squ...
- peloton 13y agoFWIW, I have first party analytics data on a top 50 online site and this was the trend we saw too. Can't remember if there were any meaningful trends in time spent though (meaning, if desktop was losing to mobile on a time spent basis).
