Dashboard
Your attribution overview — traffic mix, session trends, and key metrics at a glance.
FreeThe Dashboard gives you a quick read on your traffic mix and session volume. It's the first screen you see when you open the console, and the session count updates automatically as new sessions arrive.
Summary cards
Six cards across the top give you key numbers for the selected date range:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Sessions | Total distinct visits. Updates live — pulses when new sessions arrive. |
| Avg per day | Average sessions per day across the selected range. |
| Attribution coverage | Percentage of sessions assigned to a classifiable channel. |
| Engagement rate | Percentage of sessions where the visitor clicked through to at least one more page. |
| Channels detected | Number of distinct channels that sent traffic in the range. |
| Page views logged | Total individual page views recorded, including multi-page sessions. |
Traffic overview
The Traffic overview section shows two charts side by side:
Channel breakdown
A donut chart showing the proportion of sessions attributed to each channel over the selected date range. Each segment is colour-coded. The legend lists every channel with its share percentage.
Sessions per day
A bar chart showing one bar per calendar day in the range, with height proportional to that day's session count. The Y-axis shows absolute session counts at graduated intervals. The date range is shown below the chart along with the average sessions per day for the period.
Visitors by device
Below the traffic overview, a horizontal bar chart shows the split between mobile, tablet, and desktop visitors. Device category is determined by screen width at the time of the visitor's first page view. Sessions recorded before this data was captured show as Unknown.
Recent activity
A table of the most recent sessions recorded, showing channel, source, and landing page. This is the fastest way to confirm the beacon is working after installation — visit your site in a browser and watch the entry appear within seconds.
Date range selector
Use the range tabs to switch between time windows. All ranges are available on both Free and Pro:
| Range | Covers |
|---|---|
| 24h | Rolling 24-hour window |
| 7 days | Rolling 7-day window |
| 30 days | Rolling 30-day window |
| All time | Every session in your database |
Live session counter
The Sessions card updates every 30 seconds without a page reload. When new sessions arrive while you're viewing the Dashboard, the card pulses once to signal the change. If you're in a different browser tab, the page title updates to show how many new sessions have arrived since you last looked — it resets when you return to the tab.
What to look for
A healthy attribution picture typically shows organic search as the largest channel, with referral, email, and social filling in depending on your marketing activity. An unusually high Direct share often means traffic is arriving from sources that strip the referrer header — common with email clients and messaging apps. Adding UTM parameters (or c_ aliases) to your links is the reliable fix.
