Visitors & traffic

Your site counts how many pages people open, and shows it on your admin dashboard. No analytics account to sign up for, no tracking script to paste, no cookie banner to add — it's already on.

What you see

The dashboard of your admin panel has three cards next to the counts of your pages and components:

  • Views today
  • Views (7 days)
  • Top page (7 days) — the address of your most-opened page

That's the whole feature today: enough to answer "is anyone actually visiting?" and "what are they looking at?", without a dashboard you have to learn.

What counts as a view

  • A page someone opens — including moving from one page of your site to another, so a visitor who reads three pages counts as three views.
  • Your own visits don't count while you're signed in as the site's admin, so testing your own site never inflates the numbers.
  • Bots don't count. Search-engine crawlers, link-preview fetchers and command-line tools are recognised and dropped — which is why these numbers are lower (and more honest) than raw server hits.
  • Counts are saved every few minutes, so a view you just made can take a moment to appear. If the site restarts at an awkward moment, the last few minutes of counts can be lost — this is a traffic counter, not an accounting ledger.
  • Days are counted in UTC, not your local timezone.

What is stored (and what isn't)

Nothing that identifies a visitor. There are no cookies, no visitor IDs, no IP addresses and no per-visit records — only a small daily total per page, kept in your own site's database:

  • how many pages were opened that day, and which ones;
  • which sites people arrived from — just the site's name (google.com, instagram.com), counted per day.

Because nobody is identified, there's no "unique visitors" number, and there can't be one. That's a deliberate trade: a truthful page-view count with nothing to disclose in a privacy policy, instead of an estimate that needs one.

Good to know

  • The counts live in your site's own database, like the rest of your content — they're not sent anywhere else.
  • If you need funnels, cohorts or per-visitor journeys, you'll want a dedicated analytics product; this is intentionally the small honest version.
