Overview

  There’s no session timeout like in GA4. In our case, each visitor = a session, i.e., each device is counted individually.
• Page Views
  Total number of page visits (events with the name page_view).
• Average Session Duration
  The average time spent in a session.
• Traffic Overview Chart
  Super functional!
  Only shows Page views and Visitors.
• Browser & Device Stats
  Includes browser, device, and OS data.
• Top Pages and Referrers
  Where visitors came from (not campaigns, just referrers).
• Location Details (v1)
  Currently shows timezone only. Soon Country and City are going to be added in Signal version 1.8.2.

​

Events

• By Date
• By Event
• By Referrer

​

Sessions

• Shows the entire user journey as a timeline.
• In both Events and Sessions, any PII content in the URL is automatically redacted. 🛡️

​

Campaign Reports

• You can pick a custom conversion goal, and it’ll calculate conversion rates accordingly.

​

Additional Updates

• All database data is now accessible via API!
  For example:
  /api/websites/${signalId}/active?minutes=10
