The two most popular local sites, namely News24 and IOL, were also hit hard with reductions in unique visitors of 14 % and 11 % respectively. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">The monthly shifts in website traffic are quite common in the local Internet environment, and are closely related to issues like public holidays and number of working days per month.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Many people access websites at work only, which means that traffic is drastically reduced during months where a large portion of workers are on holiday. This trend should start to change with increases in the uptake of broadband, but with the current penetration rate of only 0.6% it will take some time before we see this trend changing. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=48922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><font color=\"#0000ff\" size=\"2\">Discuss this article<\/font><\/a> <\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local website traffic showed a monthly decrease of 7 % during June according to the latest Online Publisher\u2019s Association (OPA) statistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
