# Reading your stats (the Overview tab)

> The first page you see in the dashboard. Profile views, visitors, link clicks, top countries, top links, and what each chart actually counts.

<Note>
  Page on the dashboard: <a href="https://dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dashboard.biolovers.site/dashboard/edit</a> — the Overview tab is what loads first when you sign in.
</Note>

The Overview tab tells you how your page is doing.

## The header bar

| Thing                           | What it is                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Welcome back / display name** | Just hello text.                                                                                                    |
| **Premium badge**               | Shown if your account has Premium.                                                                                  |
| **Public link box**             | Your full profile URL — tap **Copy** to put it on the clipboard, or **Open** to view your public page in a new tab. |
| **QR button**                   | Drops down a QR code to your page so you can let someone scan it on their phone.                                    |

## The five small tiles

| Tile               | What it shows                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Username**       | The `@username` you signed up with.                                                                    |
| **Aliases**        | Your alias slug (`/aka`) if you set one, or "No aliases". See [Domain & URL](/profile/domain-and-url). |
| **UID**            | Your numeric account ID. Never changes.                                                                |
| **Profile views**  | All-time view count — one per visitor IP per UTC month.                                                |
| **Clicks (range)** | Total taps on social links + project cards in the time range you picked below.                         |

## Range and metric switches

Two pill rows control what the charts show:

* **Range:** `24h` / `7d` / `30d` / `All`. The whole tab re-fetches when you change this.
* **Metric:** `Views` / `Visitors` / `Clicks`. Only the **Traffic** chart switches.

**Views vs Visitors:** views count every page load that wasn't deduped; visitors count distinct fingerprints in the range. Reloading your own page in the same UTC month from the same IP only counts once towards views.

## Traffic chart

Line + area chart of the metric you picked, broken into:

* **24h range** — one point per hour (UTC).
* **Other ranges** — one point per day (UTC).

Hover a dot to see the exact number for that bucket.

## Visitor devices donut

Pie of `Desktop / Mobile / Tablet / Unknown` based on the user-agent. Filled in once you have at least one tracked view in the range.

## Top countries

Bar chart of country codes (`US`, `DE`, `BR`, …) in the chosen range. Country comes from the visitor's IP — VPN users may show as a different country.

## Top clicked links

The top 10 social link chips visitors tapped, with the URL underneath each label.

## Top clicked projects

Same idea, but for **project / portfolio cards** inside your widgets.

## Top clicked integrations

Taps on the **View Profile / Listen / Join** buttons of your live tiles (GitHub card, Spotify card, Steam card, Discord card, server invite).

## How counting actually works

The exact rules, straight from the API:

* **Views** are deduped **once per IP per UTC month** for the all-time `Profile views` tile, and **once per IP per UTC day** for the day-bucketed traffic chart. Reload your page from the same IP in the same window — only the first tap counts.
* **Owner visits do count.** Browsing your own page from the dashboard tab still increments the view counter — there's no owner filter on the view endpoint. If you want a clean number, use a private window with a different IP / VPN.
* **Bots are filtered out.** Requests that look like crawlers (Discord card preview, Twitter card, Google bot, etc.) are detected by user-agent and **not** counted.
* **Clicks are not deduped.** Every tap on a social link / project / integration tile is recorded, including repeated taps from the same visitor. Counting shows raw taps.
* **Numbers refresh on the next view.** They aren't real-time to the second.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I see who visited me by name?">
    No. We don't log identities. Only aggregate numbers + country + device.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does the chart say 'No traffic in this range yet'?">
    Either your link hasn't been shared yet, or all the visits happened before the range you picked. Try **All** to see everything.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The clicks count says 0 but I tested it">
    Click tracking does not dedupe — each tap records. If you genuinely see 0, the page may have been served as a bot (uncommon for a manual click) or the link is being opened with a middle-click that the page didn't see.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's a 'click' on an integration?">
    Tapping the call-to-action on a live tile (View Profile, Listen on Spotify, Watch on YouTube, Join Server, etc.). Just looking at the card is **not** a click.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My own visits inflate my numbers">
    They do. Use a private window with a different IP / VPN to view your page without counting.
  </Accordion>
