If you've used another analytics service on your website before, then you'll probably be familiar with the setup process of LiveStats. When you sign up, we give you a small snippet of code (GoSquared Tracking Code) which you'll need to embed into your website's HTML, just before the closing "body" tag.
Of course! It's really easy to start using LiveStats with Wordpress, just download our official plugin and you'll be monitoring your blog's traffic in real-time in no time.
The dots on the right show you how many pages each visitor on your website has been on. The more dots the more pages the user has visited in that session. The dot furthest to the right represents the most recent page the visitor has seen. The lighter dot the, the longer the visitor has been on that page. You can hover over any dot to see the page name and url of that page. Dots that are coloured (red, orange, or green) are active - the user currently has them open in their browser.
Go to the Site Manager, select your website from the list of websites on the left, and click the "Tracking Code" tab. Highlight your GSTC, copy it, and then you can paste it into your site's HTML, just before the closing "body" tag.
Every visitor to your website is given a unique ID within LiveStats. You can change this number by simply clicking the number and typing in a name, and then hitting enter. If you have a user system on your site, learn about how you can integrate LiveStats so that usernames automatically show up against users who are signed in on your site.
Click the "LiveStats" logo at the top left of the screen to bring up the Site Switcher.
Expand the visitor's row, and click "Show on Map". This will swipe the List View out of the way, and bring across the world map with the selected visitor highlighted as a blue dot.
Many visitors from sites such as Twitter and Facebook, and from email messages may show as "Direct" referrals. This is because these sites are often used through applications on the desktop or mobile devices. For example, a visitor tapping a link to your site in the "Twitter for iPhone" app will show as a "Direct" referral because the link will open a new browser window and load your site - which is different from having "Twitter.com" open in a browser window and clicking a link directly to your site.
Also, some sites purposely mask their referring URL by sending visitors to a redirecting page before landing on your website - unfortunately there's not much that we (or anyone else) can do to track such referrers.
You can share LiveStats for your website with a certain number of other people depending on which LiveStats Plan you're on. To share LiveStats, go to the Site Manager and click on the "Sharing" tab. Type in the email address of the person you want to email and hit enter. The person should receive an email immediately informing them of their invite. They simply need to sign up and sign in to GoSquared, and your site will show in their account, just as it does for you.
The LiveStats Widget enables you to share the number of people on your website right now with everyone. Simply go to the Site Manager, click on the "Widget" tab, and copy and paste the Widget code anywhere you like. The Widget will update on your website every time you refresh the page.
