Website Statistics for 2025
It is hard to imagine, but this website is already 10 years old. We might have left 2025, but the memory will linger for a long time. 2026 will hopefully be at least equally interesting. So, how has 2025 looked in regard to the most popular posts? And from where have our site visitors come? So let us summarize our website’s statistics for the previous year.
In the list below, you can also find similar posts summarizing the previous years.
Our Top 10 Posts in 2025
We wonder if there ever will be a post on our website that will be as popular as the one about our friend Čumil. The ”Man at Work” in Bratislava tops the list for 2025, as it has for several years before. Its position has never really been contested.

Where Did Our Readers Come From?
We have been using Matomo since 2023, but replaced it in 2025 with Independent Analytics. We don’t want to see too much, just to get an understanding about which countries the visitors to our website come from. It is always fascinating to see the numbers changing and countries coming and going in these lists. The list for 2025 includes 169 countries and is once more topped by Sweden with the United States as runner-up. Will that change in 2025?
