Visitors online on the Dashboard
See how many people are on each site right now, straight from the Dashboard. Where those visits come from — on a 3D globe or a 2D map, with a timeline and live updates — is on each site’s Analytics tab.
On this page
Where to find it: Overview → Dashboard, the “Status” column.
Before you start
- The WPManager plugin connected with its key: the plugin counts the visits.
Visitors online on the Dashboard
In the “Status” column, sites with the plugin show a people icon and a number: the visitors active on the site in the last 5 minutes (the tooltip says “Online now”). The number refreshes every minute, and the icon lights up when it is above zero.
The Globe
To see where the visits come from, open the site page → Analytics → Globe: a rotating 3D globe or a flat map, sessions by place or by country, a timeline to replay the period and new visits arriving live. Points on the map need the site behind Cloudflare. See Globe: visitors on the map.
Costs
Free.
Tips
- Watch the online numbers during a campaign launch, and open the site’s Globe on a second screen to see the new visits arrive.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The online counter on the Dashboard always shows 0 | Nobody may be on the site — or the plugin is outdated or unreachable, in which case the counter quietly shows 0. Update the plugin. |
FAQ
Who counts as online?
A visitor whose browser reported activity in the last 5 minutes. The plugin’s tracker runs in the browser, so bots without JavaScript are not counted.
