# Analytics

Server-side request and resource-usage stats for your website, plus access and error logs. Useful for spotting traffic spikes, tracking bandwidth, and pinpointing broken pages.

## Where to find it

In hPanel, open your website's dashboard and pick **Analytics** in the left sidebar (grouped under **Performance**).

The panel is split into a few tabs:

| Tab                | What's there                                                                                              |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overview**       | Total bandwidth, total number of requests, top countries, IP addresses, requests, and domains             |
| **Analytics**      | Total HTTP/HTTPS requests, unique IP addresses, bandwidth, plus a 30-day history of RAM and CPU usage     |
| **Access logs**    | Per-request log: time, IP, request type (GET/POST/…), device, country, size in bytes, response time in ms |
| **Error code 4xx** | The same per-request log, filtered to 4xx responses                                                       |
| **Error code 5xx** | The same per-request log, filtered to 5xx responses                                                       |

## Time range

Use the **Filter** control to pick a window: **last hour**, **6 hours**, **24 hours**, or **7 days**. No custom date ranges.

## What the numbers actually count

* **Total requests** — every HTTP/HTTPS hit on your site, including assets, AJAX calls, and bots. Not visitors.
* **Unique IP addresses** — distinct IPs seen in the selected window. A rough proxy for visitors, but skewed by NAT, VPNs, and corporate networks.
* **Bandwidth** — total data transmitted in the window.
* **Top countries / IPs / requests / domains** — leaderboards over the same window.
* **Device** and **Country** in access/error logs are derived from User-Agent and IP, so they can differ from the real client (VPNs, spoofed user agents, etc.).

## Common questions you can answer

* **Did we get a traffic spike?** Open the **Analytics** tab and compare Total requests over the last hour vs. 24 hours.
* **What's eating bandwidth?** **Overview** → top requests and top domains.
* **Why is the site slow?** Check CPU and RAM in the **Analytics** tab, then **Access logs** for slow response times.
* **Where do my 5xx come from?** **Error code 5xx** tab — full request line, response time, and originating IP per error.

## "No activity to report yet"

That just means there were no requests (or no errors, on the error tabs) in the selected window. Switch to a wider filter (24 h or 7 d) or wait for traffic.

## Looking for visitor analytics?

This panel reports server-side request metrics — it doesn't track sessions, page views, referrers, or custom events. For deeper marketing analytics, run a dedicated tool such as [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com) alongside it.

## Related tools

* **Activity Log** (**Advanced** → **Activity log**) — an audit trail of actions taken on the website, as opposed to visitor traffic.
* [Monitoring](/websites/monitoring.md) — availability alerts that notify you when the site goes down.
