Glossary: Live Visitors

A real-time count of visitors currently active on a site or app.

Live visitors is a real-time count of how many people are actively on a site or app right now. It’s commonly used to monitor traffic during launches, campaigns, or live events as they happen, rather than waiting for a daily or weekly report.

Examples

  • A team watches live visitors climb during a live-streamed token launch.

  • A spike in live visitors after a tweet goes out confirms the campaign is driving immediate traffic.

  • A live visitors count helps a team catch a broken page quickly if the number drops unexpectedly to zero.
