Quick Google Analytics vs Independent Analytics

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Quick Google Analytics moved down one install band, 300+ to 200+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
