Visitor evaluation in detail
The graph shows the visitors in the currently set period and in the comparison period (i.e. the previous period). To show or hide the dashed line for the comparison period in the graph, click on Comparison period.
Visitor: A visitor is a person who visits your website. Search engine robots that visit your website are not counted as visitors.
Returning visitors: Each visitor is uniquely identified by their IP address and browser identifier. If a visitor visits your website several times a day, only 1 visitor is counted. If they visit your website again the next day, 1 visitor is also counted for this day.
If a visitor accesses your website on different devices on the same day, e.g. with their computer and their smartphone, they cannot be identified as the same visitor. In this case, several visitors are counted.
If you compare the Visitors analysis with the Sessions analysis, you can recognise whether your website has many returning visitors.
