Traffic dashboard overview: sections and widgets

2 min read

The Traffic page (Opti-Behavior → Traffic, titled “Traffic Overview”) is your analytics dashboard: who visits, from where, on which device, how engaged they are, and how much of your traffic is bots or spam.

Analytics Dashboard header with date range, Apply, Refresh, Filters, Download and Excluding Spam, and four collapsed sections with key figures
The dashboard opens with four sections, each showing its key figures even when collapsed.

The top bar #

  • Period – presets or custom dates, then Apply. Refresh reloads fresh numbers.
  • Filters – narrow every widget to a segment (see below).
  • Download – export CSV or JSON (see Exporting dashboard data).
  • Excluding Spam – on by default: bot, automated and spam sessions are left out of every number.

The four sections #

SectionWidgetsQuestion it answers
Traffic OverviewVisitors, sessions, page views, average session, scroll, bounce + trend chartHow much traffic, and is it growing?
Engagement & ContentTop engaged users, top pages, visitor activity by day and hourWhat do people read, and when?
Audience InsightsNew vs returning, visited directories, visitor authentication, traffic classification, bots, user intentWho are they, and how many are real?
Visitor EnvironmentReferrers, countries, browsers, devices, operating systems, screen resolutionsWhere do they come from, on what?

Sections load one by one and can be folded, so the page stays fast even on big sites.

Filters #

Dashboard filters panel with visitor, session, pages and traffic, UTM columns, saved filters and the Download menu
Advanced filters and the Download menu.

Filters cover visitor attributes (browser, country, device, OS, visitor type), session attributes (duration, number of pages), pages and traffic (entry page, exit page, referrer, channel) and UTM parameters. Save a set with Save as… to reuse it here and in the other reports.

Expected result #

The four sections show numbers for the chosen period, without spam, and every widget follows your filters.

FAQ #

Why do my numbers differ from Google Analytics? #

Opti-Behavior counts visits on your own server, is not blocked by most ad blockers and excludes spam and bots by default. Differences of 10–30% are normal.

Some widgets stay on “Loading”. #

Large sites compute widgets in the background; click Refresh after a few seconds. If it persists, see the troubleshooting articles.

Can I see a single visitor? #

Top Engaged Users lists anonymous visitor IDs. With Pro, open their recordings.
