Overview & realtime

Read your overview#

Choose a site and date range. Review visitors, pageviews, sessions, bounce rate and average duration. Turn comparisons on to see changes against the previous equal-length period. A large percentage change from a small baseline deserves a look at the underlying counts.

Inspect realtime#

Open Realtime to confirm recent permitted activity and the aggregate per-minute series for the last 30 minutes. Live activity can include recent visitor records, locations and events. These are different from a historical report over an arbitrary selected range.

Investigate a change#

1. Match your date range and timezone.
2. Select the traffic class you want to analyze.
3. Break down by source, page or device.
4. Add a filter to isolate a segment.
5. Compare engagement and conversions before drawing a conclusion about traffic quality.

API and agent equivalents#

get_traffic_summary, get_timeseries and get_breakdown power aggregate analysis. get_realtime is aggregate-only; get_realtime_activity can include individual activity. Connect only agents you trust with that data.
