What do the six top-line metrics mean?
Each metric is shown for your selected date range, with its change versus the previous period of the same length.A session counts as a bounce when it has exactly one pageview, even if the visitor clicked a button or submitted a form on that page.
How do I read the trend chart?
The chart plots one metric over time. Pick the metric, and choose how to bucket it — by hour, day, week, or month. The line is continuous with no gaps: time buckets with no activity show as zero rather than being skipped, so the shape of your traffic is accurate.What do the breakdown tables show?
Below the chart, tabbed breakdown tables rank the top values for a dimension over your date range — Pages, Referrers, Geo, Devices, UTMs, and Events. Each row shows a count and its share of the total. Click any row to filter the whole dashboard by that value. Clicking “United States” in the Geo breakdown, for example, re-scopes every metric, the chart, and the other breakdowns to US visitors. See filter your data.What does the visitor map show?
The map shows where your visitors are, shaded by volume. Like the breakdowns, it’s scoped to your current date range and filters.How many people are on my site right now?
The Overview shows how many people are on your site right now — the count of distinct sessions active in the last few minutes. For the live view of who’s on the site, open Realtime.How do date ranges and comparison work?
Pick a date range from the presets or a custom range. Turn on comparison to see each metric against the previous period of the same length, so you can tell whether a number is up or down. Ranges are calculated in your site’s reporting timezone when one is set, so everyone on the team reads the same days. If no reporting timezone is set, ranges follow your browser’s time zone instead, and “today” means your today. See set your reporting timezone. To read the dashboard in a different zone without changing the site’s setting, open the date-range picker and use its Time zone section. It offers your site’s zone and your browser’s zone as shortcuts, plus the full time zone list. This override applies to your current view only — it isn’t saved to the site and other viewers don’t see it.Frequently asked questions
What counts as a bounce in tinyanalytics?
What counts as a bounce in tinyanalytics?
A session counts as a bounce when it has exactly one pageview. tinyanalytics reports bounce rate as the percentage of sessions with a single pageview, and a visitor who clicks a button or submits a form on that one page still bounces. Only viewing a second page ends the bounce.
How long is a session in tinyanalytics?
How long is a session in tinyanalytics?
A session is one visitor’s activity within a 30-minute sliding window of inactivity. The Overview counts each distinct visit as one session, and reports session duration as the average time between a session’s first and last activity, in seconds.
Why do all my dashboard numbers change when I click a breakdown row?
Why do all my dashboard numbers change when I click a breakdown row?
Clicking a row in a breakdown table applies it as a filter across the whole Overview. Clicking “United States” in the Geo breakdown re-scopes the six top-line metrics, the trend chart, the map, and every other breakdown to US visitors at once. See filter your data to manage active filters.
What time zone are tinyanalytics date ranges based on?
What time zone are tinyanalytics date ranges based on?
Your site’s reporting timezone when one is set on the site’s Settings → General tab, so the whole team reads the same days. If no reporting timezone is set, date ranges follow your browser’s time zone instead and “today” means your today. Both the presets and custom ranges follow this rule.
Can I view the dashboard in a different time zone?
Can I view the dashboard in a different time zone?
Yes. Open the date-range picker and use its Time zone section, which offers your site’s zone and your browser’s zone as shortcuts alongside the full time zone list. The override applies to your current view only — it isn’t saved to the site, and other viewers still see the site’s reporting timezone.
