To view your Managed WordPress traffic analytics, log in to your HostPapa Dashboard, click My WordPress, select your website, and open the Monitoring tab. The Analytics view shows how much traffic your site is getting (visits, requests, and bandwidth over time) and where your visitors come from. The numbers are measured at the network edge (Cloudflare), in front of your site, so they include all traffic.
This Knowledge Base article explains how to view traffic analytics for a website created with your Managed WordPress service.
What you’ll see
The Analytics view on the Monitoring tab:
- Summary cards for Requests, Visits, and Transfer (bandwidth), each with an up or down arrow comparing the current period to the previous one.
- A Requests over time chart.
- Top breakdowns: most-visited pages (Paths), where visitors came from (Referers), Countries, Browsers, Operating Systems, Device Types, status codes, and cache hit rates.
- A date-range picker that covers up to the last 30 days. Changing the range refreshes everything.
- Hovering over a chart shows a crosshair with the value at that moment, lined up across the charts. To zoom into a busy period, drag across the chart to select it.
What the numbers mean
- Requests: every file fetched. One page view is usually several requests, so this is a measure of total load.
- Visits: distinct visitor sessions, the closest thing to how many people came.
- Transfer: total data served, useful for understanding your bandwidth use.
- Cache statuses: how much was served from the fast edge cache instead of being fetched from your site.
Analytics is read-only, so looking at it never changes anything on your site.
