I own an eccommerce site. And observed something interesting over Christmas, well potentially interesting. I'm not here to promote it so will just share anonymous screenshots from usage of my site leading over up to Christmas.
Lithuania and Latvia traffic didn't really seem to be affected (which I actually find surprising, cause usually it drops too)
But Estonian site went absolutely dead over the two days as you can see in screenshot.
Now I don't know, could be something else, maybe something got fucked up with with SEO or whatever) but the sites are basically identical in everything but domain name (example.lt, example.lv and example.ee), default language. And Lithuanian site has some extra functionality.
Anyway, just something interesting I observed, feel free to discuss it. Would be interesting to hear from other people that have sites in all three or maybe just some of the countries did you notice same? (This is first year where the sites are live in all 3 countries, but Lithuanian one is in its 3rd year).
Merry Christmas!
The one Estonian using your site actually celebrates Christmas I guess.
I lost my phone yesterday, sorry for low numbers.
My condolences.
What are the rest doing though? Lol what are they up to
The rest of Estonians? You mean all 5 of them? Probably hanging out with each other.
When do Latvians and Lithuanians open their presents?
Lithuanians first day of Christmas. Maybe everyone was checking how much was their gift lol
When do Estonians?
Probably yous guys now opening up presents from 2024 lol (just kidding)
The evening of the 24th after dinner usually for Estonia.
That checks out lol

The peak was on the 24th
Actually I think many Lithuanians open presents on both 24th and 25th. This year I visited my brother for Christmas Eve and we opened some presents. The next day I visited my gf's parents and opened some presents too. I believe this is common.
Same in Latvia. Although often a bit earlier or few days later, whenever extended family decides to get together.
I can't seem to edit the post, I'll just add that it's a price comparison sites
Lithuania be like

Deeper traffic analysis are necessary to draw any conclusions, could be difference is traffic source split, volume and ranking keywords.
