HM Treasury Web Server Statistics (1994 – 1997)

Period Sites in Period Browsers has just thrown up another interesting little oddity – very early server stats from HM Treasury’s web server.

With a little cleanup the data actually charts quite nicely and – even with the logarithmic scale used below – you can see continual growth with the occasional budget-day spike.

And a cleaned-up table of the underlying data.
