By this paper's arithmetic, the movement recorded for f5.com exceeds the movement recorded for any other domain in the set by a factor of nearly nine.^7

The read here is that the magnitude of change varies widely between domains tracked by these instruments.^8

What stands out is the lack of a single narrative explaining the specific direction of every shift across the two feeds.^9

Future analysis will require more data points to determine if these are isolated fluctuations or part of a larger trend.^10
