Back in 2020, when I started this blog, I was just hoping someone out there might find the things I write about useful. I averaged about 300 new visitors a month in the early days. I wrote from personal experience, sharing guides, insights, and reviews on topics I genuinely cared about — and for a long time, I figured a small audience was just part of the journey.

But here we are in 2025, and things have changed… a lot.

Just this year alone (as of September), the blog has already seen:

- 16,963 unique visitors
- 26,528 total visits
- Over 46,000 pages viewed
- More than 304,000 hits
- Over 42 GB of bandwidth consumed

To put that in perspective — my monthly visitor count has increased by over 600% compared to when I first started. The jump didn’t happen overnight, but 2025 has been a major turning point. Traffic really began to pick up in March and April, and by May and June, the site was consistently receiving over 2,000 unique visitors per month, with people coming back to read even more.

Why This Matters to Me

I don’t do this for ad revenue or fame — I write because I genuinely enjoy helping people. Whether it's sharing IT tips, homelab projects, cybersecurity advice, or my latest tech experiments, I always hoped my content would reach those who could benefit from it.

Seeing this level of engagement tells me that what I’m sharing is helping. It’s reaching the right people. And that means the world to me.

Thank You

If you’ve ever visited my site, read an article, shared a post, or sent in a message — thank you. Your interest and curiosity are what fuel this blog.

I’ve got more planned for the months ahead — deeper technical articles, more homelab builds, cybersecurity walkthroughs, and maybe even a few surprises — and I hope you’ll continue to follow along.

Thanks again for being a part of this journey.
