The IE6 Factor

  • I maintain a couple of curling club web sites, and here are some of stats for them
    for December:

    Browsers
    IE6 21.27% (didn't think it would be this high, but this is still a large number)
    IE total 84.65% (expected result)
    FF 12.13% (thought this might have been higher)
    Other 3.22% (minimal).

    Resolutions
    800 6.63% (almost dropping out of contention)
    1024 52.05% (the default screen size for the web pages)
    1280 23.17% (will this be the new default size in the future?)

    320x396 I had a couple of hits at this resolution, not sure what the sites would look
    like at that resolution. Wonder what browser they are using? Is it IE6?

    Does not look like IE6 is going anywhere fast to me, still a major percentage of users
    using it on these 2 sites anyway.

  • Interesting stats!

    The 320x396 could be a BlackBerry? The iPhone's screen is much wider than that, but maybe a BB.

    Yeah, it sounds like it would be a mobile phone of some sort.
  • according to Google Analytics, it was an iphone
