Click a question below to learn more about Real-time Analytics.

A live visitor is defined as someone who performed an action on your site (navigated to a page, purchased something, etc.) in the past 5 minutes.

Yes. When you visit a page of your site, you will see yourself tracked as a live site visitor.

A recent visitor means anyone who has visited your site in the past 24 hours.

In order to track site activity, visitors need to have accepted the site's cookies and not be using any ad blocking tools.

If a site visitor doesn't accept cookies on your site, you are able to see:

  • The live visitor number
  • The page views
  • Any purchases

Visitors live at the moment (actively browsing or clicking around your site) are marked with a green dot. The green dot allows you to begin a chat with them if you've installed Wix Chat on your site. Click the chat button to go to your Inbox and begin a conversation.

Note: You may see a discrepancy between the list of visitors who can be contacted through Wix Chat and the list of live visitors in the Real-time Analytics dashboard. This is because the Real-time Analytics only tracks active users. From Wix Chat, you might see visitors who aren't currently active on your site.
