The 4 numbers Notch Metrics reads from Plausible
- Unique visitorshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklineDistinct visitors in the window. The headline counts each visitor once across the whole window, so the bars do not add up to it. Buckets are your Plausible site's reporting timezone, so the figures match its own dashboard.
- Pageviewshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklineTotal pages viewed in the window, with repeat views by one visitor all counted. Buckets are your Plausible site's reporting timezone, so the figures match its own dashboard.
- Bounce ratedaily, weekly and monthly · sparklineShare of sessions that left after one interaction. Plausible computes each bar over its own bucket, so a week is weighted by its sessions rather than being the mean of seven daily rates. Buckets are your Plausible site's reporting timezone, so the figures match its own dashboard.
- Sessionshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklineVisits started in the window, which Plausible calls "visits". A session that spans midnight is counted in the bucket it started in. Buckets are your Plausible site's reporting timezone, so the figures match its own dashboard.
