What the dashboard shows

The live signals editors actually use.

Live readers

See active users on your website in the last five minutes and understand the current audience pulse.

Top stories

Track the top articles at the moment, with mini-charts showing whether attention is rising or fading.

Traffic sources

Spot whether traffic is coming from search, direct, social, newsletters, campaigns, or referrals.

Devices

Understand the live split between mobile and desktop readers as your audience moves through the day.

Countries and map

Use the interactive world map and country list to see where current readers are located.

Search and drill-down

Filter by keyword or URL, then click a page to see more detail about its current traffic.

Editorial workflows

Turn live signals into newsroom action.

01

Prioritize the homepage

Move stories that are gaining attention into stronger positions before the traffic window closes.

02

Catch traffic spikes early

Use the 30-minute pageview window and live top-page list to spot stories before they peak.

03

Understand distribution

See when search, social, direct, or campaigns are driving a story and adjust promotion accordingly.

04

Check the day’s pace

Compare today’s performance against yesterday, the current month, and your recent rhythm.

Pace

Know whether today is ahead of the newsroom’s normal rhythm.

NowMetrix compares today’s live values with the median of the last 8 same weekdays at the same time of day. Editors see whether traffic is unusually high or low while there is still time to react.

  • ✓Friday is compared with recent Fridays, not a generic daily average.
  • ✓Median logic filters out outlier days and keeps the expected curve realistic.
  • ✓Pace turns live traffic into a clear signal: ahead, on track, or behind.
