See who's visiting

How many people visit your site, which pages they read, and where they came from.

Every Lanlan site counts its visitors from the day it's published, on every plan. There's nothing to set up.

Look at your numbers

Open Analytics in your dashboard. Choose the last 7, 30 or 90 days. You'll see:

  • Visitors and page views, each compared with the period before.
  • A chart of page views by day.
  • Your top pages, top referrers (the websites people came from, like instagram.com), top countries and devices (phone, tablet or computer).
  • Campaigns, if you use tracking tags in your links (see below).
  • Performance — how fast your pages load for real visitors, against Google's recommended targets. Open this section once your site has had some visits.

Or ask Lanlan in Tell Lanlan:

  • "How many visitors did we have last week?"
  • "Which pages do people read most, and where do they come from?"

What counts as a visitor

A visitor is a person who opened your site and stayed long enough for the page to load properly. Page loads that never get that far — often bots — are shown separately as unverified visitors, so they don't inflate your numbers. Visits to your draft don't count.

Visitors are recognised without cookies, so the same person on a phone and a laptop counts as two visitors.

AI engines

The AI engines tab on the Analytics page shows how often AI services — the ones behind assistants and AI search — read your site: to train, to answer questions, or while someone is chatting. It also checks that your site allows them in.

Track a campaign

To see which newsletter or post brought people in, add tracking tags to the link you share. The Links page has a Build a share link tool: pick a page, fill in the source (for example newsletter), medium and campaign, and copy the link. Campaign results appear on the Analytics page. Short links and redirects.

Privacy

Lanlan's visitor counting doesn't set cookies and doesn't store visitors' IP addresses. It records the page, the site they came from, their country, their screen size and any campaign tags.

Detailed visitor records are kept for 90 days, and page speed measurements for 30 days. Daily totals are kept.

Everyone working on the site can see its analytics.
