Last week, DAP was activated on the pages, and we nearly passed out when we saw the first data coming in. This week, you can see some of that data on \u003ca href=\"https://analytics.usa.gov/\"\u003eanalytics.usa.gov\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you see is real. At any given moment, there can be upwards of 6,000 real-time visitors on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.usps.com/\"\u003eusps.com\u003c/a\u003e homepage and over 50,000 across all the pages within \u003ca href=\"https://www.usps.com/\"\u003eusps.com\u003c/a\u003e domains. As a result, the real-time numbers across all participating sites, as well as the “visits in the past 90 days” section will be markedly higher. There are a lot of people out there tracking packages.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/03/250-x-180-Over-fifty-thousand-Desktop-mobile-and-tablet-users-Analytics-dashboard-March-22-2016.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Over fifty thousand Desktop mobile and tablet users Analytics dashboard on March 22, 2016\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\nWe don’t usually alert the public when we add new sites or agencies because it happens frequently, but we felt that the significant increase in numbers as a result of this addition warranted an explanation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe thank USPS and welcome them to the Digital Analytics Program!\u003c/p\u003e\n"}
