Visitor Details view

The Visitor Details view is the very main view where WassUp shows you the global site usage and the chronological list of visits, you can manage this view by changing the options at the top and you can interact with the items, delete them or mark them.

Now we split this view into the four main parts:

The first options part is where you can change how to display the items "on the fly", this options will not remain until you save them in the Options view:

Visitor Details view - Options

  • Click the chart icon (Show the chart/Hide the chart) to show/hide the site usage and chart
  • Change the "Summary for the last" selection to switch the time period
  • Change the "Items per page" selection to increase/reduce the items displayed
  • Change the "Show items by" selection to switch between typology of items recorded to display

The second part is the Site Usage which could be hide with the chart icon (Hide the chart), it shows a line with global information and the chart:

Visitor Details view - Site Usage

  • Visits are total hits distinct by session_id (they aren't unique visits)
  • Pageviews are total hits without distinction
  • Pages/Visits are the average of pages viewed by each visits
  • Spams are the total hits marked as spam (akismet/referer) and the percentual on the total Pages viewed

The chart displays two lines:

  • The solid blue line is the Visits
  • The dashed orange line is the Pages

By default the chart display one single Y-axis for both the line, but if you would like to have two Y-axes separated, go to the Options view and select it, you will got the right axis for Visits and the left Y-axis for the Pages.

The third part is for the "actions": expand, collapse, search, pagination, etc...

Visitor Details view - Actions

  • "Auto refresh" displays how many seconds remain to the next refresh (you can change it in the Options view)
  • "Expand All" expands every items below to display the User Agent strings (you can display the User Agent string for single items by clicking the hostname link).
  • "Show TopTen?" display an on demand top ten list
  • "Search" displays an input box to search a string in the DB, the string is searched in the following db fields: ip, hostname, urlrequested, agent and referer
  • "Collapse Chronology" collapses every urls requested in the items below
  • Pagination is to navigate through the items pages

The fourth and last part of the main Visitor Details view is, may be, the most important, because it gathers every hit your users did and displays them into a chronological view. Every "box" is a single user session (a session is 10 minutes), with the most interesting informations and what the user visited, see the example below:

Visitor Details view - Item example

  • The little box on the top left corner include the visitor's IP address and it's clickable if it surf more then one page to expand/collapse the chronology below
  • Under the IP there is the timestamp for he first hit
  • On the right of IP box there are: the first url requested, the referer and the hostname. If you click the hostname you'll got a slide down row containing the full User Agent string
  • The three icons on the top right corner are:
    • raw text icon: open a window with the raw text information about the visitor
    • mark ip icon/unmark ip icon: mark/unmark selected IP address, if you click the icon to mark the visit, every hit done by that IP will be marked with a different background color and you will be able to delete every marked visits with the red cross icon.
    • delete icon: delete instantly the visit selected, if you have marked an IP it will delete every visit done by that IP
  • Below the top part, there are the informations about typology of visit, it could be various:
    • Light blue: visit comes from a search engine (and you got the keywords searched)
    • Light violet: visit comes from Google Images search engine (and you got the keywords searched)
    • Brown: visit is a spider or bot
    • Light red: visit is spam
    • Light green: visitor is a registered blog user
    • Light yellow: visitor is a returned comment's author
  • The other row is the language (is not the geographic language but the browser language), browser and operating system used
  • The last part on the bottom is the cronology if the visitor surfed more then one page
