Top Pages
The About page is directly linked on the Home page, yet the Team page has more views than the About page. This is likely because students are looking to see how they can join the team. Our marketing push of our MSXIV blog post likely spiked views directly onto the post.

Blog Posts
Blog Posts
Since the number of views for the Blog page is less than the views for the MSXIV page, we can infer that the traffic to our blog posts comes mainly from indirect traffic.
| Page | Views | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A First Glimpse at MSXIV | 142 |
| 2 | Blog | 80 |
| 3 | Preparing MSXII for its return to the track at the FSGP 2019 | 21 |
This means that the traffic to our blog posts comes mainly from indirect traffic.
Social Media Traffic to Our Website
Social Media Traffic to Our Website
From our overall social media traffic below, we can see that we are most active on Facebook. Facebook connects us to the rest of the solar car community via ASC through tags/mentions. Although we have the least amount of followers on LinkedIn, it ranks as the platform with the second most views directed from there. LinkedIn has more users looking for content to read, or individuals looking for more information from a company perspective. Instagram is a good place for quick updates since users must go to our profile first then to click into our site. Our audience for twitter is less active, with very few likes and retweets, but we have a decent following. The one view shown below was from our MSXIV update.

| Platform | Views | Followers | |
