Page visits on Flywheel

Updated on March 8th, 2023

Under your stats tab on your Flywheel dashboard you can see the number of visits to your site like the image below.
Visits on the stats tab.

Flywheel counts each unique IP address in a 24 hour period as a visit. Below is a list of scenarios and whether or not it counts as a visit.

Does this count as a visit?

    • A person arrives at your site and loads a page: Yes, that counts as a visit.
    • That same person clicks a link that opens another page on the same site: No, that’s the same IP address, it won’t be counted as a second visit.
    • That same person loads your site in a different browser: No, because they are still accessing the site from the same IP address.
    • That same person goes into their office and loads your site: Yes, because they are accessing the site from a new IP address.
    • That same person visits your site a week later: Yes, because Flywheel resets visits every 24 hours.

There may be a discrepancy in the traffic you see from your analytics provider and Flywheel visits. This is common and is caused by a handful of things. For example, Google Analytics only tracks pages with their tracking code on them. This typically means your Admin pages would not be tracked.

Note

Flywheel will NEVER shut off your site if you go over your limits. For more information on overage costs check out this help doc.
