The Locales section has several metrics to view in great detail regarding who visited your website and from where. According to our example, the slowest hours for visitors are 10 PM (Hour 22) to 3 AM (Hour 03), with similar lulls between 6 AM (Hour 06) and 8 AM (Hour 08), and at 3 PM (Hour 15). This tool can help you determine when your peak hours are so that if you ever need to perform updates or take the site down for maintenance, you know when the fewest visitors will be affected. The hours start from midnight at 00, with hour 23 being 11 PM server time. The Hours graph details the total amount of pages, hits, and bandwidth used during certain hours of the day. In this example, since Sunday and Monday are the least-visited days, it would make the most sense to take the site down for maintenance or updates on these two days. This can be very useful in helping determine which are your peak days for visitors, which can help influence when you should upload new content or do any maintenance that may cause site downtime. The Days of Week record shows the aggregate amount of traffic accumulated on certain days of the week. As you can see, it details each day's record of the following: In this example, we have it set for April of 2018. With this, you can tell if there are major spikes or lulls in your traffic based on new content or certain days of the week. This allows you to track daily trends, seeing the traffic of your visitors for every day of the reported month. The Days of Month graph indicates the traffic recorded on the days of the selected month at the top of the page in the summary. Cyan: Total hits (page requests) for the monthĪt the bottom, the table also provides a total overview of the year-to-date aggregate for all five of these tracked statistics.Orange: Total unique visitors for the month.This allows you to track large trends over the current calendar year, letting you know of any major shifts in your monthly visitors to major updates or major additions or subtractions from your site.
