the left column says what the growth rate was from today vs 7 days ago. the right column is a weekly average growth rate over a period of time, by default 30 days. So if the value in the left column is higher than the one in the right, this would mean that this week the metric is growing faster than it has on average in the last 30 days.

So these values really are growing several percent per week. That's amazing.

It might be good to put the period on the page somewhere.

Agreed. Additionally there seems to a be a bug:

You can average monthly growth over the last 365 days , but you can't see yearly growth over "all time." Additionally the slider was very clunky feeling (hard to use) on my phone and I suspect all mobile (Android 4.4 w/ Chrome (Nexus 4)).
