Reports & Notifications

Tinylytics keeps you in the loop about your website’s performance and health through automated email reports and instant alerts. This guide explains how to configure and manage these communications.

Email Reports

Get a periodic summary of your website’s traffic delivered straight to your inbox. This is a great way to keep a pulse on your project without needing to log in to the dashboard constantly.

What’s Inside?

The email report includes a snapshot of your site’s performance for the reporting period:

  • Total Hits: How many times your site was visited.
  • Unique Visitors: An estimate of distinct people visiting your site.
  • Top Pages: Your most popular content.
  • Top Referrers: Where your traffic is coming from.

Frequency

Reports are typically sent on a weekly basis, arriving every Monday. This gives you a fresh start to the week with insights from the previous 7 days.

Manual Reports

Can’t wait for Monday? You can trigger a report manually at any time:

  1. Navigate to your site’s Edit tab.
  2. Look for the Email Reports section.
  3. Click Send Report Now.

Uptime Alerts

If you have enabled Uptime Monitoring, Tinylytics will send you immediate notifications for critical events.

Types of Alerts

  • Downtime: Received instantly when your site stops responding (confirmed by multiple locations).
  • Recovery: Received when your site comes back online, including the total duration of the downtime.
  • SSL Issues: Warnings about expiring or invalid SSL certificates.

Testing Alerts

To ensure you are receiving emails correctly, you can send test alerts from the dashboard:

  1. Go to the Uptime tab for your site.
  2. Look for the “Test Notifications” area (often located in settings or near the recipient list).
  3. Click buttons like Test Down or Test Up to simulate an event.

Content Monitoring Alerts

For subscribers using Content Monitoring, Tinylytics sends notifications when issues are detected during a scan.

  • Broken Links: Alerts when internal or external links on your site break.
  • Mixed Content: Alerts when insecure resources are found on secure pages.

You can pause these emails if you are performing maintenance on your site to avoid cluttering your inbox.

Managing Recipients

You can control who receives these reports and alerts. By default, the account owner’s email is used, but you can add friends, colleagues or stakeholders.

  1. Navigate to your site’s dashboard.
  2. Go to the Settings or Edit tab.
  3. Find the Email Recipients section.
  4. Add Recipient: Enter the email address you want to add.
  5. Remove: Click the trash icon next to an email to stop sending notifications to that address.

Note: All recipients will receive traffic reports Critical alerts for that specific site will only go to the account owner for now.
