StatelessID

The Board

The board is the main analytics screen for a domain. It shows the page view total, a day-by-day area chart, top pages, top referrers, countries, languages, screen sizes, load bands, and — when present — script errors, all for the date range you select.

The four metric tiles

The top row of the board holds four metric tiles. The first tile shows the total page view count for the date range you have selected — or the count for a specific event type if you have switched the metric pill. The label changes to match the active filter so you always know what the number represents.

The second tile shows today's count so far in UTC. This number updates on every page load without you needing to do anything. If you are in a different time zone, remember that StatelessID records days in UTC — a visit at 11 PM your time on Monday may count on Tuesday UTC.

The third tile shows the count from the last 15 minutes. This is the closest thing StatelessID has to a real-time indicator. It tells you whether the script is receiving beacons right now. If this number is consistently zero during hours when your site has visitors, work through the script-health article.

The fourth tile shows how many visits remain in your monthly quota this cycle, along with the total cap. Below the tile, a small note shows the percentage change compared to the equivalent period in the previous cycle so you can see at a glance whether this month is pacing ahead or behind.

The area chart

The area chart draws one bar or curve per day across the selected range. A second, lighter series shows the same number of days from the period immediately before the range so you can compare trend visually. The prior-period line is aligned day-for-day: day one of this range sits above day one of the equivalent prior window.

The Y axis scales to the highest day in the current range, not the prior period. If the prior period had a spike that exceeds the current maximum, the prior line may go off-chart — that is expected. The intent is to compare shape and direction, not to plot both series on the same absolute scale.

Below the chart, a thin quota bar shows the fraction of your monthly cap that has been counted so far this cycle. The bar fills left to right. When it reaches 100%, new visits are soft-stopped until the next billing cycle begins. You can also see the exact percentage in the fourth metric tile.

The page groups and referrers cards

Two side-by-side cards sit below the chart. The left card — Referrers — shows the top referrer hosts ranked by visit count for the selected range. A referrer host is the domain name of the page that linked to yours, as sent in the standard HTTP Referer header. Direct visits, typed URLs, and links from apps that strip the header appear as (direct).

The right card — Pages — shows the top path groups ranked by visit count. A path group is the URL path with query strings removed and trimmed to at most two segments. The path /blog/post-title-here becomes /blog/post-title-here; the path /shop/product/12345 becomes /shop/product. This grouping keeps the table readable on sites with thousands of unique URLs.

Each card shows up to four rows in the compact view, with a bar proportional to the row's share of the total. Rows below the privacy floor of five views are folded into Other. The full list is available by expanding the collapsible drawer further down the board.

The four-card strip

Below the main two-card grid, a four-card strip shows Countries, Languages, Screen size, and Load speed side by side. Each card ranks the top three rows for the selected range. Countries uses the two-letter country code inferred from the request at collection time; the IP is not stored. Languages uses the two-letter language code from the Accept-Language header. Screen size uses one of six resolution bands: 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K, and 8K. Load speed uses one of four bands: under 1 s, 1–3 s, 3–8 s, and over 8 s.

All four cards respect the same privacy floor. A country with four or fewer visits in the range is folded into Other. The four-card layout is designed to scan quickly — the goal is to see the dominant profile of visitors in a few seconds, not to build a demographic report.

Script errors and the collapsible drawer

If any script errors were counted in the selected range, an error-classes card appears below the strip. It shows error class labels and counts ranked by frequency. When this card is present, it usually means JavaScript errors were thrown on your pages during the range. The fix list in the collapsible drawer may give you more detail about which page groups are affected.

The collapsible drawer is the last section on the board. It holds page-value assignments, the extended languages and load-band tables, error classes, period compare, filter impact, and the fix list. Click the drawer toggle to expand or collapse it. Its state is not saved between page loads.

Troubleshooting

If the chart is flat but the metric tiles show a positive count, check the date range — if you selected a single day, the chart will show one bar. Try widening the range to last 7 days.

If the Pages card shows only Other and no named rows, all path groups in the selected range have fewer than five views each. This is normal on quiet sites or very short date ranges. Widen the range to see more rows.

If the Load speed card shows a high fraction in the 3–8 s or over 8 s band, check the fix list for actionable suggestions, and read the load-bands article for what those bands mean.
