The fifteen months, as observed
Sessions, users and engagement are transcribed through 16 September 2026. September and Q3 2026 are incomplete and are marked. Publishing remains a flat zero in-window. CMS lastmods are not traffic spikes unless GA4 agrees. January’s peak is paid, not a blog post.
Sessions and active users
July 2025 and January 2026 are the bursts. August 2025 and February 2026 are the resets. The asterisk is September month-to-date.

Quarterly sessions

Dated events
The rail mixes public CMS facts with GA4 inflections that the report actually measured: the Paid Other burst, the January peak, the June case-study post, the July organic signal, the Egypt homepage spike.
Publishing, including adjacent years
Adjacent months are labelled as such. They exist so the in-window silence has a denominator.

In-window monthly ledger
LinkedIn rows are unknown outside Apr–Jun 2026, not zero. Key events in the month notes are not leads.
Quarter slices
Full window: monthly rows in view sum to 21,539 sessions. September 2026 is month-to-date through 16 September, not a full month. The property-level total is 21,893 because GA4 sessions and session_start differ in the source report; these monthly bars use the monthly table. LinkedIn rows exist only for Apr–Jun 2026; other months stay unavailable, not zero.
Jul–Dec 2025

Jan–Jun 2026
