Who is on your site right now.
A five-minute live window, refreshed every fifteen seconds, with countries, pages and sources behind it. When nothing is happening it says so rather than smoothing the gap.
What is realtime analytics?
Realtime analytics shows who is on your site at this moment rather than what happened yesterday. Mrkr counts anyone who sent an event in the last five minutes, refreshes every fifteen seconds, and shows where those people are, what they are reading, and which source brought them.
It is the one view whose value is entirely about latency. A launch, a post that took off, a broken deploy: all of them are visible here while you can still act, and invisible in a daily report until it is history.
- live window: anyone active in it counts as on the site
- 5 minlive window: anyone active in it counts as on the site
- refresh interval on the realtime view
- 15srefresh interval on the realtime view
- most recent raw events kept in the live feed
- 100most recent raw events kept in the live feed
- after which a cached range including today is treated as stale
- 10safter which a cached range including today is treated as stale
Ranges that include today carry a write timestamp and are refreshed once they are more than ten seconds old, so live views stay current instead of being pinned to a cache floor. Historical ranges are immutable and cached longer.
A count, a map, and what they are reading.
The live count sits above a map, or a list, of current visitors with country, device and source where those are known, plus breakdowns of the most recent activity by country, path and device.
There is no historical fallback and no smoothing. If nobody is on the site, the page says nobody is on the site. That sounds obvious and it is not universal: plenty of tools quietly widen the window until the number stops being zero.
What realtime is actually for.
Watching a launch land
Whether it moved anything, which page people go to first, and whether the traffic came from where you expected.
Catching a break in minutes
A bad deploy shows as traffic collapsing on one path while everything else holds. Five minutes, not next morning.
Seeing a mention first
An unfamiliar referrer climbing the live source list is usually somebody talking about you somewhere.
Sharing the moment
A public live link or an embeddable counter, both scoped to a token you can revoke at any time.
Watch it live
The live demo runs the realtime view on real demo traffic, refreshing on the same fifteen-second cadence. No signup, no card.

Not everything in Mrkr refreshes at the same speed, and the differences are deliberate rather than accidental.
| Surface | Window | Refresh | What it answers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Realtime | Last 5 minutes | Every 15 seconds | Who is here now, and where from |
| Events live feed | Most recent 100 events | Every 5 seconds | What is firing, event by event |
| Overview | Your selected range | Every 30 seconds | How today compares to the period |
| Embedded counter | Last 5 minutes | Every 15 seconds | A public live count on your own page |
Why the numbers are trustworthy live.
Bots are the most punctual visitors
An unfiltered live count is largely scraper activity. Nine filter layers run before anything is written.
Measured, not assumed
On one live site, 30 days held about four times as many bot hits as human pageviews. That is how wrong a raw count would be.
Caching that gets out of the way
Any range including today is stale after ten seconds, so a live view is never pinned to a cache floor.
