Real-time Analytics
Monitor visitor activity as it happens with Real-time Analytics.
The Real-time tab gives you a live pulse of your campaign. When active, you'll see a green pulsing indicator Realtime(5m ago) in the control bar, showing that live data is streaming. This is perfect for monitoring launches, email blasts, or social media campaigns.
Live Activity Board
The Real-time dashboard differs from others because it updates automatically every second, providing truly live insights without any manual action required.
Active Visitors
The prominent counter shows the number of people currently browsing your pages (Active Sessions).
Live Visualizations
- World Map: A real-time visual map showing where your current visitors are located by country
- Active Devices: Dynamic breakdown of Desktop, Mobile, and Tablet users currently on your site, displayed as a chart with real-time percentages
- Traffic Sources: Which channels (direct, social, search, referral) are driving the current traffic spikes
- Top Landing Pages: Which pages visitors are currently viewing most
Recent Events Feed
A scrolling feed of the latest visitor actions in real-time, showing:
- Page Views: When a visitor loads a page, with timestamp and location
- Link Clicks: CTA and external link interactions
- Form Submissions: Lead generation completions
- Custom Events: Any custom tracking events you've configured
Each event appears within seconds of occurring, giving you instant feedback on user behavior.
Control Bar Features
The Real-time screen has a simplified control bar compared to other analytics screens:
Available Controls:
- Production: Switch between Preview (test data) and Production (live data)
- Green Pulse Indicator: Realtime shows data is streaming live and updates every second
Not Available:
- ❌ Period Selector: Real-time shows only current activity, not historical periods
- ❌ Manual Refresh Button: Not needed since data updates automatically every second
The green pulsing indicator confirms that real-time data is actively streaming. If it stops pulsing, check your internet connection or refresh the page.
Usage Tips
Keep the Real-time tab open during a marketing push to immediately see if your links are working and users are engaging as expected. The 1-second refresh rate means you'll see activity almost instantly.
Verification
You can use Real-time analytics to verify your own visits:
- Open your landing page in a new incognito window.
- Switch the Analytics dashboard to Preview if you are testing a preview link.
- Watch for your visit to appear in the Live Feed.
