Online users

The widget displays the number of users currently active on your applications. It provides an instant snapshot of your live traffic, helping you understand peak activity moments and identify if real-time engagement is high.

Metrics

The chart includes:

1. Total online users
   The total number of users who are currently online.
2. Online users over time
   A timeline view showing how the number of online users has evolved throughout the last 30 minutes.

Interpretation

This chart helps you visualize real-time user activity and traffic dynamics. Sudden increases in online users can indicate the immediate impact of a campaign, new content release, or external referral. Conversely, steady or declining numbers may suggest quieter periods or reduced engagement.

For example, a noticeable spike in online users after an email campaign or social post means your strategy successfully drove users to your site. Consistent high levels of online users can also reflect sustained engagement throughout the day.

What the number tells you

Here are some common insights you can get from this widget:

• Sudden spikes in online users indicate the immediate success of a marketing action, campaign launch, or event. Use this moment to monitor performance and ensure your infrastructure can handle the increased load.
• Stable levels throughout the day reflect healthy and predictable user behavior patterns, which are ideal for planning updates or releases.
• Noticeable drops in online users may point to reduced visibility, lower campaign activity, or potential performance issues. Review recent changes that could have affected user access or engagement.
