Realtime
The Realtime report shows what's happening on your site right now. It refreshes automatically every few seconds, so it's useful for launches, campaigns and verifying a new install.
Live stat cards
Four cards at the top:
| Card | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active Right Now | Sessions with activity in the last 5 minutes. |
| Pageviews / min | Pageviews in the last 60 seconds. |
| Active Sessions / min | Sessions with activity in the last 60 seconds. |
| Countries | Number of countries with active sessions. |
A session is active when it had any activity in the last 5 minutes and includes a pageview, the same rule as every other report. Someone reading a long article still counts; a session kept alive only by custom events firing on a timer doesn't.
Live charts
A pageviews-per-minute chart shows the last stretch of activity, alongside a map of where your active sessions are located.
Below the event stream you'll find active sessions by device, by current page (the page each session is on right now, so every session counts once) and by source. Countries, devices and sources come from each session's first pageview, like in the other reports, and shares are calculated against all active sessions.
Event stream
The event stream lists the most recent events as they arrive, newest first. Each row is colour-coded by category and shows useful context:
- the event type (pageview, engagement, outbound click, e-commerce, or a custom event),
- the country flag and device icon,
- the page path,
- the source, and
- a relative timestamp ("a few seconds ago").
