# Traffic Analytics

> Understand your site's traffic patterns with built-in analytics.

## 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.
