# Who came, from where. Without a cookie. > The Dashboard shows visitors, views, sources, countries and devices, with no cookie and no banner. What each figure means, and how to filter it. The Dashboard is the first screen of your admin. **Every line on it is a filter**: press a source, a page or a country, and the whole tab follows it. ## By hand, in the admin 1. Open **Dashboard**. Overview shows your visitors and views, your latest post and your top posts. 2. Choose the period: **Today**, **7 days**, **30 days** or **90 days**. Today is drawn by the hour, and every figure shows its change from the period before. 3. Open **Web traffic** and press a figure, **Visitors**, **Views**, **Visits**, **Bounce rate** or **Visit duration**, to chart it. 4. Under the chart, read **Pages**, **Entry pages**, **Sources**, **Campaigns**, **Countries**, **Devices**, **Browsers** and **Systems**. 5. Press any line to filter the whole tab by it. The × on its pill takes the filter off. The Dashboard is for editors and up. Staff who are signed in are not counted, and data older than 13 months is deleted every night. ## With your agent > My top post this month is “The night ferry to Busan”. Draft a follow-up post in the same voice. > These three posts brought the most visitors last week. Write each one a sharper meta description. The tools it calls: `list_posts`, `get_post`, `create_post`, `update_post_settings`. No tool reads the Dashboard, so your agent cannot see your traffic. Read the figures here, then tell your agent which posts to build on. ## Examples - **Where the readers came from.** A newsletter about chess presses one forum under Sources and **sees which of its posts that forum reads**, then writes more of them. - **A country worth a translation.** A design blog finds a third of its visitors in Brazil under Countries, and starts to publish in Portuguese. - **Phones first.** A recipe site sees most visits under Devices are on a phone, and picks a theme with a short header. ## Questions ### Where do I see my traffic on PixelGlass?
