Live visitors and live events

See how many people are on your site right now, what they are doing, and where in the world they are.

What it does

A pulsing counter of unique visitors in the last 5 minutes, a live world map, and a feed of sign-ups, clicks, downloads and other custom events from the last 30 minutes. Night mode turns the live map into a calm full-screen view for a wall screen or TV.

Why it matters

Launch day, a newsletter going out or a post taking off on Reddit: the live view tells you in seconds whether it is working, without waiting for tomorrow’s numbers.

How to use it

1. The “visitors now” counter sits at the top of your dashboard.
2. Press Live view → for the map, current pages, sources and the events feed.
3. Use night mode on a wall screen; it dims the map.

How it works

• The counter refreshes every 30 seconds while the dashboard is open.
• A visitor counts as “now” if one of their pageviews arrived in the last 5 minutes.
• The events feed lists event names and properties only. No visitor IDs are shown.
• Night mode dims the map and asks the browser to keep the screen awake where it allows it.

Privacy

• Collected: The pageviews and custom events you already collect, nothing extra
• No cookies, and nothing stored on the visitor’s device.
• Reports show totals only: never a visitor list, IP address or single visit.

Limits

• Live window: last 5 minutes for visitors, last 30 minutes for events
• Rows: 0 extra per pageview (the live view only reads)

Plans

Every plan, including Free. quietstats is free during launch: the Free plan covers 1 site and 5,000 pageviews a month, and no card is needed. See pricing.
