I recently upgraded from phpBB to Discourse, but in the same amount of time, 13 people came to my phpBB by only 1 person came to my Discourse. Why is that?

If you’re really interested in an answer to this question you _might_ want to give us more information, well **any** information.

For example:

- How long ago did you move to Discourse?
- How did you move to Discourse?
  - Are you using a new FQDN or the same as your phpBB install?
  - Did you move all your content?
  - How are you redirecting old URLs to new?
  - How did you introduce your new Discourse instance to existing users?

- What time period is that sample over?
  - By people do you mean new users? existing users? anonymous visitors?
  - What sources of introduction bring users to your community?

- Did you update the Google Search Console with any relevant details for your new site?

With at least something to go on any answer is a stab in the dark. For now I’m going to go with “your server has a vitamin C deficiency” because it’s as likely as anything else I can say without a single shred of information.

- About a month ago
- I bought a digital ocean server
  - I used [db.httpandssl.com](http://db.httpandssl.com) instead of [forum.httpandssl.com](http://forum.httpandssl.com).
  - I had barely any content on either forum, so no content migration here.
  - No redirects.
  - My homepage link is changed

- About a month
  - Users in general. I don’t believe in a category. I used phpBB for a month and Discourse for a month. Before that, I used fluxBB with a lot of users, but most of these were advertising bots.
  - My homepage

- Updated

… these sites are both live?

Also, that’s not a great name change, and is probably part of the traffic drop. It’s also very, very hard to measure traffic when your baseline is 13 visits in a month.
