Typical Website Statistics, Distribution/Consumer Website, June 2003
The following are typical statistics that will represent what browsers and versions users are using to access your website. The importance of this is that all new web pages must be tested to operate in not only the latest versions of browsers, but also previous versions. Typical users do not update their browsers to more current versions unless they either purchase a new system, their system is having some sort of trouble, or the updates are automated.
