Last year was a rough year for GeoJS with a general downtrend in traffic to the service. Around mid-March, requests dropped by roughly five hundred million requests a day resulting in a 35% dip in traffic.
Only six months saw a traffic increase with the remaining six seeing negative growth.
| Month | Requests | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| January | 5,261,437,972 | 13.0% |
| February | 6,243,650,585 | 18.6% |
| March | 4,048,358,836 | -35.1% |
| April | 3,598,497,818 | -11.1% |
| May | 3,514,539,096 | -2.3% |
| June | 3,106,608,948 | -11.6% |
| July | 2,455,787,282 | -20.9% |
| August | 2,502,693,067 | 1.9% |
| September | 2,484,759,693 | -0.7% |
| October | 2,642,522,306 | 6.3% |
| November | 2,767,232,530 | 4.7% |
| December | 3,015,889,288 | 8.9% |
Overall this isn’t a bad thing. Four years of growth is amazing for a product I’ve never advertised and I couldn’t be happier. GeoJS still serves around one hundred million requests a day which is a large percentage more than I thought it ever would.
Over 2021 GeoJS served 50TB worth of traffic to users with Cloudflare serving 13 of those directly from cache. I want to thank Cloudflare once again for providing the bandwidth they do.
There are no major changes planned for GeoJS in 2022 apart from a rewrite of the web app at app.geojs.io which I hope to release sometime later this year.
