It measures the most popular sites by dns lookup. Twitter fell from 32nd to 39th.

Well this probably doesn't measure any app user

App users still make API calls to Twitter’s domain. Depending on the domain name, these app users might still be counted.

not a definite measurement for a decline in users but I would argue it shows a trend of less users visiting the site
