In many cases, the information we see as a government-wide percentage does not perfectly mirror an individual agency’s data. For example, at the time of writing this post, the domestic vs. foreign traffic on the whole of participating \u003ca href=\"/preview/gsa/digitalgov.gov/bc-archive-content-3/guides/dap/\"\u003eDigital Analytics Program\u003c/a\u003e (DAP) sites is about 90% to 10%, respectively. But the VA specifically has a 99% to 1% ratio, while NASA has a 62% to 38% domestic to foreign visits ratio.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;vertical-align: top;text-align: center\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/02/250-x-384-VA-Traffic-by-Country.png\"\n    alt=\"A chart showing the traffic on VA websites by country\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;vertical-align: top;text-align: center\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/02/250-x-388-NASA-traffic-by-country.png\"\n    alt=\"A chart showing the traffic on NASA websites by country\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pages also allow you to see things like the most popular downloads at an agency-level. During tax season, the IRS contributes the majority of downloads in the “Top Downloads” section on analytics.usa.gov, which is logical since it is tax season. With agency dashboards, you can observe downloads at the agency level.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-these-agencies-are-there-more-to-come\"\u003eWhy These Agencies? Are There More to Come?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agencies included in this initial “batch” of dashboards volunteered to be part of the first release. They are not representative of total participation in DAP, which is currently at 45 agencies. In the future, we hope to continue to expand the number of agency-specific pages.

The dashboards reflect only websites that participate in the Digital Analytics Program. You can see which sites are included in the data set for each agency by downloading the “Visits to all Domains in the Last 30 Days” .csv file from the “Download the Data” section. You can also get an idea of the level of participation of an agency at \u003ca href=\"https://pulse.cio.gov/\"\u003epulse.cio.gov\u003c/a\u003e.
