Visitors.
Loading…
One reader
The person you opened from a page in the admin, with every visit they made, whatever the range above says.
The numbers
Totals for the range picked above. The line under each number compares it with the same stretch of time just before, so 7 days is set against the 7 days before that.
Short links
Make one link for each place you share the site, then every visit through it is counted against that place. The code comes out of the address bar as soon as the page opens, so a link copied from the page does not count twice.
Traffic over time
Each bar is one period. The three strips share the time axis but each has its own scale, so read the shape of each strip, and hover or tap a bar for the exact numbers.
- People
- Browsers that ran the tracker. Counted once per bar, however many pages they opened.
- Crawlers
- Requests from programs: search engines, AI companies, scripts. Section 07 names them.
- Link previews
- WhatsApp, Telegram, X and others fetching a page when someone pastes the link. Each one means the link was just shared.
How long a visit lasts
Visits by active time. Most sites see a tall first column: people who looked and left. The columns further right are the ones who read.
Where they came from
The first page of each visit says where the visit came from. A visit through one of your short links is listed under that link. No referrer means the address was typed, opened from a bookmark, or tapped in an app like WhatsApp or Telegram, which don't pass one on.
Referrers
Tagged links
Links with ?utm_source= on them, grouped by source and medium.
Shared in
Link previews: which app fetched which page, and when. The person who shared it may never have opened the link themselves.
Countries
Cities
From the IP address. Usually right about the country, often off by a city or two.
Networks
Who owns the IP address. Home and mobile providers are ordinary. A company name, a cloud host like Amazon or Google Cloud, or a VPN provider stands out: an office, someone hiding their location, or a script.
What they looked at
Pages by views, then every pop-up in the order its tile appears on the site. Rows at zero are pop-ups nobody opened in this range. Open time is how long a pop-up usually stayed open.

How long pop-ups stay open
The median time each pop-up stayed open, for the ones opened in this range. Seconds mean a glance; a minute or more means it was read.
Videos played
Videos inside a pop-up start on their own when it opens, so they count here too.
Links followed off the site
Devices
Each person counted once. Screen size is in the units the page sees, not physical pixels, so an iPhone 13 shows as 390 × 844.

Crawlers and AI
For showing up in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, the search crawlers matter most: they decide what an assistant can find and cite. A visit from one ending in -User means a person asked an assistant a question and it opened a page here to answer.
Watch list, all time
Files written for machines
llms.txt describes the site for AI assistants. robots.txt says which crawlers are welcome. The sitemap lists every page. A crawler that reads these is taking the site seriously.
Every crawler in this range
With the pages each one fetched. Open one to see the exact user agent strings behind the name, which is how a fake Googlebot or a new version gets spotted. Scripts and headless browsers are mostly people testing or scraping the site, including you.
Unrecognised, probably automated
Requests counted as people that never ran the tracker and look like programs: they call themselves a bot or a script, or skip headers every browser sends. A new crawler shows up here before it has a name in the rules.
People
One row per person, most recent first. Open a row to see each visit in order: the pages, the pop-ups, the links they followed. Visits that were recorded have a replay.
How to read this
- Person
- One browser on one device. The same human on a phone and a laptop counts as two people, because nothing links the two.
- Fingerprint
- An id worked out from how the browser draws text and graphics, its fonts and its settings. It stays the same after cookies are cleared, so a returning person is recognised. It is right most of the time, not always.
- Visitor id
- A random id the tracker stores in the browser. Used when there is no fingerprint. Clearing site data resets it.
- Visit
- Pages one person opened without a 30-minute break. A new visit starts after 30 minutes of nothing.
- Active time
- Time the tab was on screen and the person had scrolled, tapped, typed or moved the mouse in the last minute. A tab left open in the background does not count.
- Open time
- How long a pop-up stayed open before it was closed. Shown as the median, so one pop-up left open for an hour does not skew it.
- Crawler
- A program visiting the site: search engines, AI companies, SEO tools, uptime checks, scripts. Most never run JavaScript, so they are counted from the server log.
- Link preview
- The fetch an app makes when someone pastes a link, to show a title and picture. It means the link was just shared in that app.
- Referrer
- The page someone was on when they clicked a link to this site. Apps like WhatsApp and Telegram send none, so those visits count as no referrer.
- Network
- The company that owns the IP address. Usually a home or mobile provider. A company name or a cloud host can mean an office, a VPN or a script.
- Short link
- A link to the site with ?s= and a two or three character code on the end, made in section 02. The code says where the link was shared.
- Replay
- A recording of the page as the person saw it: scrolling, taps, pop-ups. It is rebuilt from the page structure, not filmed, and typed text is masked.
