Overview

The Overview report answers "how is my site doing right now?" at a glance: the main dashboard where stat cards summarize entrances, pageviews, bounce rate, events, conversions, conversion rate, and revenue for the selected period, alongside a live counter of active visitors, a trend chart, and top pages and sources. It loads by default when you open a site and is the starting point for daily monitoring.

  • Monitor bounce rate trends
  • Track conversion rate stability

Quick Health Check​
