Over the last few weeks, we’ve been excited to see steady growth in the number of people running the WebXPRT 5 Preview— as well as how widely distributed those runs are around the world. To get a picture of WebXPRT’s approximate global reach, we run the IP address data from our database through a program that provides general city- and country-level location information. By tallying that location data, we can better understand where people are running WebXPRT. By the way, this is the most detailed information we have, and all test data will remain completely anonymous unless you submit it for publication.
Based on that info—along with direct feedback from users—we’ve determined that OEM labs, tech press journalists, and individual consumers have already run the WebXPRT 5 Preview in more than 125 cities across 35 countries!
Test run data is just one of the ways that we track the progress we’re making toward our goal of providing all interested parties with benchmark tools that are reliable, relevant, and free to use. Another important way we track progress toward that goal is by paying attention to how much people use and discuss the XPRTs. When the name of one of our apps appears in an ad, article, or tech review, we call it a “mention.” Tracking those kinds of mentions helps us gauge our reach.
From time to time, we like to share a sample of recent XPRT mentions here in the blog. If you just started following the XPRTs, it may be surprising to see our global reach. Whether you’re a new visitor to the XPRT blog or a longtime reader, we hope you’ll enjoy exploring the links below!
