Dashboard overview
When you first sign in, Antlytics shows an overview of your most-visited site for the last seven days. The top row displays three headline numbers: Visitors, Pageviews, and Bounce rate. Below that, a line chart plots daily visitor counts, and five breakdown tables let you see which pages, referrers, countries, devices, and browsers your visitors come from.
What you see when you sign in
The overview page has three main areas:
- Top row — headline metrics for the selected date range.
- Line chart — daily visitor trend for the selected period.
- Breakdown tables — Pages, Referrers, Countries, Devices, and Browsers.
If you manage multiple sites, the sidebar lets you switch between them. The overview reloads for the selected site automatically.
Key metrics explained
Visitors
Unique visitors estimated for the selected date range. Antlytics uses a daily-rotating hash to approximate unique visitors without cookies or persistent identifiers. Visitors are counted per day — a person who visits on Monday and again on Wednesday counts as two visitors for that week.
This is different from Google Analytics, which can track individuals across sessions using cookies. Antlytics's approach is more privacy-preserving but means long-period unique visitor counts are approximations.
Pageviews
Total page loads recorded by the tracker script. Each time your tracking script fires — on initial load or on client-side navigation — a pageview is recorded. If a visitor views three pages in one session, that counts as three pageviews.
Bounce rate
The percentage of sessions where the visitor viewed only one page before leaving. A high bounce rate is not always bad — a blog post that answers a question completely may have a high bounce rate simply because visitors found what they needed.
Bounce rate is calculated per session, not per visitor.
Filtering and date ranges
Use the date-range picker in the top-right of the dashboard to change the reporting window. Available presets include:
- Last 24 hours
- Last 7 days (default)
- Last 30 days
- Last 12 months
- Custom range
All metrics, charts, and breakdown tables update automatically when you change the date range.
Pages, referrers, and UTM breakdowns
Pages table
Lists the most-visited pages on your site for the selected period, sorted by pageview count. Click any page to filter the entire dashboard to that page.
Referrers table
Shows where your visitors came from — which websites, search engines, or direct entries sent traffic to your site. Direct / none means no referrer header was present: this includes bookmarks, typed URLs, and some mobile apps.
For more detail on campaign traffic, see UTM campaigns.
Countries table
Visitors bucketed by country, derived from the IP address at the time of the pageview request. IP addresses are not stored — only the country code is recorded.
Devices, browsers, and OS
Breakdown by device type (desktop, mobile, tablet), browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), and operating system. Derived from the User-Agent header sent with each pageview request.
Real-time indicator
The "X online" badge in the dashboard header shows how many visitors have been active on your site in the last few minutes. This updates periodically when the dashboard is open.
Real-time is a live count, not included in the historical metrics. It does not affect your reported pageview or visitor totals.
Managing multiple sites
Antlytics supports tracking multiple sites from a single account. The site switcher in the sidebar lets you jump between sites. Each site has its own tracking ID, dashboard view, and goal configuration.
The Free plan supports one site. The Starter plan supports unlimited sites for A$10/month.
To add a new site, go to Settings → Sites → Add site and copy the generated tracking snippet for that site.
