Four questions. Answered while they’re still true.

Below are the real product’s components, filled with sample data. In your dashboard every row is a real visitor, and nothing waits for tomorrow’s report.

Who’s here now

Every visitor is a row and a dot on the globe. Each one gets a generated name and a glyph, so you can tell people apart without ever knowing who they are. Click one in the product and follow their visit as it streams.

Where they came from

Search, social, newsletters, referrals and AI assistants each get a lane. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini are a first-class channel, not a line lost in Referrals. Locations are shown by country and city, and unknown ones stay unknown.

What they’re doing

Pageviews, signups, sales and custom events stream in the moment they happen. Rage clicks, dead clicks and JavaScript errors show up too, so you see someone getting stuck while they’re still on the page.

Why it changed

When a number moves, Globatics splits the change across channels, pages, countries and devices and names the drivers. Insights flag spikes, drops, AI surges and slow pages before you go looking.

  • Claude is optional

  • AI channel+850
  • /blog/realtime-analytics page+720
  • Germany country+320
  • Mobile device+250
  • Paid Search channel−290

Visitors rose 17% on last week, mostly from AI assistants and one blog post. Paid search fell back after the campaign ended.

  • Good news: AI assistants doubled their visitsChatGPT and Perplexity sent 2.4× more visitors than the week before, most of them to the docs.
  • Needs attention: /checkout is slower on mobileLCP went from 2.1 s to 3.4 s on phones since Tuesday. The new hero image is the largest element.
  • Note: New referrer: news.ycombinator.com312 visitors from a thread about real-time analytics, 41% of them still on the site after a minute.

A lower bound: some assistants open links without a referrer, so part of their traffic lands in Direct.

Gzip transfer size of each default script. Others measured on 21 October 2026; Globatics measured from the file this server ships. The smallest scripts don’t collect rage clicks, dead clicks or JavaScript errors.

  • Cookieless by default

    No cookies, and nothing stored in the browser unless you turn persistence on.

  • IP addresses are never stored

    Used in memory for the city and the daily visitor hash, then dropped.

  • Ids that expire daily

    The salt rotates every day, so visitors can’t be linked across days or sites.

  • Designed for consent-exempt measurement

    Aggregate stats for you only: no cross-site tracking, no ads, 25-month retention by default.

Every stored field is listed in Data fields and privacy.
