Traffic Data Availability for All Variants

Can chess.com make data available for when it is the busiest, when most players are playing or looking to play. I'm mainly looking for 4-Player Chess like those you see for stores if you look online? Seems when I try to play there's low number of players, for example, there's barely 120 people looking to play as I post this. This can be done for all variants depending on what, which variant,  the person is looking for. 

If I had access to this data I could plan on when I log in to play so that there's more players on and better variety of opponents. It would also match quicker due to more players queuing up for games.

Just a suggestion, which I think will improve player experience.

I think most of the Variants have fairly low numbers most of the time.

I'm talking about ALL variants, including Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, 4PC, 3+, etc. What time during a particular day the number of people playing are highest. They don't have to give the exact numbers, just the graph showing the busy time.

Besides, the point was to give the information to the players so the can have a better experience through knowing when there are a larger number of people on playing the variant you are interested in.

This would be a nice little feature but I doubt chess.com will do it. They really don't like sharing data like that - probably because it could make them look bad if traffic on the site is slow.

While a grocery store showing busy times is good for the customer so they can avoid it if possible, a site with low usage is a bad sign.
