Traffic Analytics#

LemWatch's Traffic Analytics gives you a lightweight, privacy-friendly view of your site's traffic patterns without requiring a separate analytics tool.

Data Sources#

Traffic data comes from two sources:

Google Analytics 4 — If you've connected your GA4 account

Estimated traffic — Based on search impression data from Google Search Console

Key Metrics#

Daily/weekly/monthly visitors — Trend charts with period-over-period comparison

Traffic sources — Organic search, direct, referral, social, paid

Top landing pages — Which pages attract the most visitors

Geographic distribution — Where your visitors are located

Device breakdown — Desktop vs mobile vs tablet

Traffic Anomaly Detection#

LemWatch automatically flags unusual traffic patterns:

Sudden drops — Could indicate a site outage, SEO penalty, or broken redirect

Unexpected spikes — Might signal viral content, a bot attack, or successful campaign

Source shifts — Changes in traffic mix (e.g., organic dropping while direct rises)

Combining Traffic with Monitoring#

The real power is correlating traffic data with monitoring events:

Did a performance regression cause traffic to drop?

Did fixing broken links improve organic traffic?

Is a slow page causing high bounce rates?

Privacy#

LemWatch doesn't add tracking scripts to your site. All data comes from your connected Google accounts or server-side metrics.
