1. Here's a page on Treasury yields with a column for change over the past month and past year

The Treasury Yields section is at the top right.

As is often the case, they don't explain anywhere what's in the "1 month" and "1 Year" columns, but comparing to what I see in other bond pages, they are the change in yield in basis points (100 basis points = 1 percentage point. So for example an increase of "12" basis points is an increase of 0.12 percentage points. Just move the decimal point 2 places to the left ).

So actually the yields on the 3-month have FALLEN in the past month and in the past year. Ditto the 6-month and 12-month Treasuries over the past year (but their yields are up over the past 12 months).

Everything else has yields up in both the past month and in the past year.

As for "other bond pages", I look at e.g.

https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/US3M
for the 3-month Treasury

and

https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/US10Y
for the 10-year Treasury

and other Treasuries have the same URLs, except the "3M" and "10Y" are changed to what's appropriate, e.g. "6M" for the 6-month and "5Y" for the 5-year.
