Seven weeks, including the ones that went down — nothing cropped out of frame.
28-day active users, seven weeks straight from GA4
Published August 10, 2026
This is our own Google Analytics 4 data on 28-day active users, one weekly snapshot at a time from June 22 through August 9, 2026. It grew for three straight weeks into mid-July, then declined for three straight weeks after that. Both halves are reported here, not just the half that looks good.
Week by week
Bar length scaled to the seven-week peak (1,489, week of Jul 13–19).
Week-over-week table
| Week | 28-day active users | Change vs. prior week |
|---|---|---|
| Jun 22–28 | 793 | +735 (↑ 1267.24%) |
| Jun 29–Jul 5 | 1,119 | +326 (↑ 41.11%) |
| Jul 6–12 | 1,259 | +140 (↑ 12.51%) |
| Jul 13–19 | 1,489 | +230 (↑ 18.27%) |
| Jul 20–26 | 1,064 | −425 (↓ 28.54%) |
| Jul 27–Aug 2 | 955 | −109 (↓ 10.24%) |
| Aug 3–9 | 906 | −49 (↓ 5.13%) |
"28-day active users" is GA4's rolling count of unique users active in the trailing 28 days as of the end of each week shown. The June 22–28 jump reflects the metric's 28-day rolling window filling in after a young domain's early low-traffic weeks, not a real 1,267% week of visitors.
Three weeks down, and an honest guess at why
The decline starts the week after the peak (Jul 13–19) and runs through the most recent week measured (Aug 3–9). That timing lines up with something already documented elsewhere on this site: Google Search Console showing a crawl-cutoff plateau starting around July 24, with only 101 of 246 sitemap URLs indexed as of the most recent check.
That's a plausible connection, not a confirmed one — GA4's active-user count and GSC's crawl/index numbers are different systems measuring different things, and this page doesn't have the data to prove causation between them. Noted here as the most likely honest explanation available, not as a settled fact.
What this data is, and isn't
Source: ZenMasterWorks' own Google Analytics 4 property, "Trend of 28-day active users" panel, read directly off the dashboard for each of the seven weeks shown.
What makes this different from most of the evidence on this site: PageSpeed scores, WHOIS domain-age records, and public search rankings can be independently checked by anyone. This can't — it's a private analytics account, so this page is a transparent report of what's in it, not third-party-verifiable proof the way those other pages are.
Why publish it anyway: the same standard applied everywhere else on this site — real numbers, including the ones that went down, reported the week they happened rather than only in retrospect once they recovered.

- 28-day active users grew from 793 to a peak of 1,489 in mid-July, then declined three straight weeks to 906 by early August.
- Both halves are reported here — the growth and the decline — not just the weeks that look good.
- This is self-reported from a private GA4 account, unlike the site's PageSpeed or WHOIS evidence, which anyone can verify independently — stated plainly, not glossed over.
- ZenMasterWorks' own Google Analytics 4 data shows 28-day active users growing from 793 (week of Jun 22–28) to a peak of 1,489 (week of Jul 13–19), then declining three straight weeks to 906 (week of Aug 3–9), a 39% drop from peak.
- The decline's timing coincides with a documented Google Search Console crawl-cutoff plateau starting around July 24 — noted as a plausible, not confirmed, explanation.
- This data is self-reported from a private analytics account, not independently verifiable the way this site's PageSpeed, WHOIS, or public-ranking evidence is; it's published for the same "receipts, not vibes" transparency standard, including the weeks that went down.
