What changed with my website ?

I've had a look at my webstats for the past 12 months and there's a significant decrease in daily average hits and overall hits. We're talking 2.9 million overall hits in march 2014, dropping to 400,000 for april 2014.

I'm not sure exactly why this happened and its puzzled me. The only thing I can come up with is that in march 2014, we got news that we had to move house so I wasn't as active on facebook and the website as much, so maybe was driving less traffic to website ?

If I save the months as pages, would someone be willing to take a look and see if they can spot what changed ? (if it's this easy)

Or should I forget about it and focus on the future ?

    As your stats decrease someone else will be thinking why have theirs suddenly shot up.

    Op just forus on the future, website traffic goes up and down depending on many factiors.

    look at MSE, and how much traffic the forum will get, but if posters stopped posting, then traffic would drop,
