Overview
The Analytics Overview gives you a high-level snapshot of your website’s performance. See total visitors, sessions, page views, and engagement metrics at a glance — with trend indicators showing how things are changing over time.
Dashboard Metrics
The overview displays key metrics with period-over-period trend comparisons:
| Metric | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Unique Visitors | Total distinct users visiting your site |
| New Visitors | First-time visitors in the selected period |
| Sessions | Total browsing sessions |
| Page Views | Total pages viewed across all sessions |
| Bounce Rate | Percentage of single-page sessions (lower is better) |
| Avg Session Duration | Average time visitors spend on your site |
Each metric includes a trend indicator showing whether it’s trending up, down, or neutral compared to the previous period.
Top Traffic Sources
A bar chart shows your top traffic channels ranked by session volume:
| Channel | Source |
|---|---|
| Direct | Visitors who typed your URL or used bookmarks |
| Organic Search | Visitors from search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) |
| Paid Search | Visitors from paid search ads |
| Social | Visitors from social media platforms |
| Visitors from email campaigns | |
| Referral | Visitors from other websites linking to you |
| AI/LLM | Visitors from AI assistants and language models |
Each channel shows its session count and percentage of total traffic.
Audience Trend
An interactive line chart tracks four metrics over time:
- Users
- New users
- Sessions
- Page views
Use this to spot traffic patterns, identify spikes from campaigns, or detect drops that need attention.
Controls
| Control | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Date range | Select the time period to analyze (1–365 days) |
| Stream selector | Filter to a specific data stream (if you have multiple websites) |
| Browser key | Filter by specific tracking key |
How Trends Are Calculated
Trends compare the second half of your selected period to the first half. For example, if you select a 30-day range, the trend compares days 16–30 against days 1–15. This gives you a built-in comparison without needing to manually set date ranges.
