Start with the evidence
Web analytics can connect visits, referrers, and paths, which helps separate Product Hunt, search, community, and direct visits.
It is not enough to know where first users came from; teams need to know whether they viewed examples, started trial, opened pricing, or left feedback.
Traffic is not the whole answer
The signal matters when it clarifies search intent, proof, and conversion action, not when it adds another traffic tactic.
Check the page promise
- Review Product Hunt, search, community, and direct traffic separately for trial actions in the first 48 hours
- Keep the test narrow: one priority page with clear topic, source links, internal links, and a conversion action
What still needs proof
Total traffic can hide which channel actually brought users willing to try. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
