The live card from the app, drawn by the same components as the report itself.

01

Watch a launch land, rather than reading about it tomorrow

A post, a newsletter or a campaign shows up in the live feed within seconds. You can see which channel actually delivered while the send is still going out, instead of waiting for a dated report to settle.

02

Confirm a deploy did not take the tracking with it

A release that breaks the script looks exactly like a release that lost you traffic, and the difference matters enormously. The live feed answers it in the time it takes to load: pageviews are arriving, or they are not.

03

Find a spike while you can still do something about it

A burst of traffic is only actionable during the burst. The country and source breakdowns update alongside the count, so an unexpected surge comes with an explanation rather than just a number.

What the live view will not tell you

It is a snapshot of the last few minutes, not a total. Visitors are counted with a key that rotates daily, so nobody in this feed can be followed into tomorrow — and the country is resolved from the request, never a stored coordinate.

Questions about realtime

These are on the guides index too, alongside every other question the site answers.

How quickly do visits appear?

Pageviews normally reach the live feed within a few seconds of happening.

What counts as a visitor on site now?

Someone who loaded a page in the last few minutes. It is a live snapshot rather than a running total for the day, so it goes down as well as up.

Should I make decisions from the realtime view?

Use it to observe and to verify, not to conclude. A live number covers minutes, so it carries no weekday pattern, no seasonality and no comparison. Anything you intend to act on should be read from a dated report.
