How to view your website analytics in Kiravo

The Analytics tab gives you a quick read on how busy your website is and how much bandwidth it’s consuming. To open it, go to your website’s dashboard and click the Analytics tab in the top menu bar.

The page has two charts — Bandwidth and Visitors — and a date-range picker that controls both.

In the top-right corner there’s a date-range toggle with three options:

  • Today — traffic and bandwidth for the current day so far.
  • Last week — the past seven days (selected by default).
  • Last month — the past month.

Clicking any of the three updates both charts.

Shows how much data your website has transferred over the selected period:

  • Total bandwidth — a headline number (shown in GB) summarising the data used.
  • A line graph plots the daily bandwidth across the date range, so you can spot spikes and trends.

Use this to keep an eye on your plan’s data allowance. A sudden spike that doesn’t match a traffic spike can also be a sign of something abnormal — a misbehaving bot, a large file being hot-linked from another site, or a backup process gone awry.

Shows how many people are reaching your site:

  • Total hits — the total number of requests/visits in the selected range.
  • Unique hits — the number of distinct visitors (each counted once), usually noticeably lower than total hits.
  • A line graph plots both metrics over the date range, with one coloured line per metric. The gap between them is a rough proxy for “how often does each visitor come back.”

What these numbers tell you (and what they don’t)

Section titled “What these numbers tell you (and what they don’t)”

These figures are a lightweight, at-a-glance overview — not a full web-analytics suite. They’re great for spotting:

  • Whether traffic is growing or shrinking week-over-week.
  • Whether a marketing campaign produced a visible bump.
  • Whether you’re nearing your plan’s bandwidth allowance.

For deeper analysis — which pages get traffic, where visitors come from, what device they use, conversion funnels — you’ll want a dedicated analytics tool installed on the site itself. Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, Umami, and Pirsch are all common choices that work out-of-the-box on a Kiravo-hosted WordPress site.
