Understanding Your Analytics

Overview is the main view of a site. Hits, uniques, the chart, and the tables below it all follow the date range you pick, except Top pages (all time).

The chart

Pick a range (Last 24 Hours, 7 Days, 30 Days, All Time, and the rest). Multi-day views can group by day, week, month, or quarter. A single day groups by hour.

Week starts on is Sunday or Monday, in account settings. This week, Last week, and weekly charts follow it.

• Hits — how many times pages loaded.
• Unique hits (if you turned them on) — an approximate unique visitor count from anonymous daily hashes.

Tables under the chart

Top pages is the date-range table: the most viewed pages in the range you picked.

Top pages (all time) is a separate Overview block. The date filter does not apply. New sites start with it off; existing sites keep whatever they already had. Show or hide it under Appearance → Stats Sections.

Referrers — where traffic came from: Direct, external sites, and Internal (often hidden by default). Tinylytics records whatever the browser sends. LinkedIn, Google, and many others send only the origin (linkedin.com, google.com), not the page or search keywords. That is their Referrer-Policy, not a Tinylytics limit. Use Google Search Console for search terms. On links you control, UTM parameters still work.

Countries — from the visitor’s IP, discarded after the lookup.

Browsers and Platforms are two separate headings on Overview (Chrome, Safari, Vivaldi; iOS, Android, macOS, Windows).

Insights

The Insights tab looks for spikes, new top content, and referrer changes. More in Insights.

Segments, ignore, export, public stats

Data → Segments — named views of one site by path prefix (/docs includes /docs/api). Everything else is leftover traffic. Different hosts belong in Groups, not a segment.

Ignore paths under Settings → Ignore Rules (e.g. /admin). Ignore your own browser with the flag in Ignoring your hits.

Export on the site dashboard downloads CSV.

Public Stats under Settings → Public & Webring turns on a public URL for that site.
