Realtime

Realtime answers one narrow question honestly: who is on your site right now. There's no historical fallback and no smoothing: if nothing is happening, it says so.

Realtime counts anyone active in the last 5 minutes.

The live-visitor definition

A visitor counts as "live" if they've sent an event in the last 5 minutes. That's the window behind the headline live count, the visitor globe/list, and every breakdown on this page.

What's on screen

A live visitor count, a map (or list) of current visitors with country, device, and source where available, and breakdowns of the last activity by country, path, and device. The underlying event feed keeps the most recent 100 raw events.

Update interval

The realtime view polls for new data every 15 seconds. That's independent of the Overview page's 30-second poll and the Events live feed's 5-second poll: each surface refreshes on its own cadence.

Filters

Country, device, and entry/exit path filters apply to realtime the same as elsewhere; the rest of the filter dimensions don't currently narrow this view. See Filters and segments.
