The first thing I would do is check if your Github repository is showing the traffic source. If your primary documentation is on Github, then you would expect most people to visit it in order to figure out how to use your software.

I think the increased traffic is due to something more popular now depending on OP's library. Their users won't come to its repository for documentation.
Yeah, that was my initial thought, too. However, why was it only a short spike then? A dev branch that got merged into master by accident? Also, none of the projects that depend on my repo (as listed on github) have a lot of traction.
Yeah, I did. There wasn't much there. A few more people than usual but well within the margin of error. The majority being referred from Google.
Hmm... not really found another way of doing this. Would be very keen on seeing what others are doing.
