What I noticed. This slice contains 21,539 sessions across 15 month rows. January 2026 is 5,657 sessions when it is in range; August 2025 is 434.

How I am reading it. What stands out to me is how bursty this is. The peaks look purchased or anomalous; the troughs look closer to the Direct floor. A rise in sessions is not automatically a healthier business if engagement falls with it.

What I would look at next. I would budget from the Direct months, not from January. The next thing I would check is the mix behind each spike on Acquisition.

Quarters

18 August 2026: homepage sessions 146 versus an expected 14, of which 135 from Egypt. I am not sure yet whether that spike is genuine demand or a tracking / bot event, but I would not read it as GCC pipeline.

Where I would go next

What I noticedThe numbersHow I am reading itWhat I would do next
Volume is not a baselineJan 5,657 sessions; Feb 1,925 (−66%). Q1 +208.7%; Q2 −66.8%.This looks like purchased or anomalous reach, then a reset.I would not forecast 2027 from January.
September is still incomplete328 sessions through 16 Sep 2026.I am missing the rest of the month, so a full-month comparison would understate September.I am keeping the MTD label on every chart and export until I have a complete month.
