Live
Who’s on your site right now, on a globe, with where they are and the pages they’re on.
What it is
Live shows who’s on your site right now, as pins on a globe, next to a list of people here now and visits that just ended. Each one shows roughly where they are and the pages they’re on.
It’s the fun part of launch day: post a link, then watch people arrive.
Places are cities, rounded to about 10 km. No IP address or visitor id is ever shown or kept. Live only asks for new numbers while it’s on screen.
How to use it
Open Live
In the Clacky window, pick Dashboard, then Analytics, then Live. The Live button shows how many people are on now.
Move the globe
Drag to spin the globe. Scroll or pinch to zoom.
