Some analytics information is public, if you know where to look. You can add /info to the start of the URL path, and that might reveal some information about the page.

For example: https://www.gov.uk/info/find-coronavirus-local-restrictions

Nice! Do you know if historic data is available somewhere too? Or is it always just the last 6-weeks?
