States
Expect different analytics states
The `Analytics` tab does not always open into charts. Its state depends on whether the project is live and whether traffic exists yet.
Unpublished project
The tab explains that analytics are not available yet and points you back toward the website/publish flow.
Published, but no traffic yet
You can still open the live site, but the charts stay empty until requests arrive.
Published with traffic
Flutty shows request totals, trend charts, and daily limit context.
Load failure
If analytics data cannot be fetched, the tab shows an explicit failure state instead of silent emptiness.
Usage
Read the metrics in the right order
The most useful way to read the tab is from current demand to longer-term pattern.
- 01
Start with today
Check how many requests the live site received today and how much of the daily allowance was used.
- 02
Check what remains
Review the remaining quota before reset if the plan exposes a daily limit.
- 03
Read the chart trend
Use the daily graph to spot whether traffic is flat, growing, or peaking on specific days.
- 04
Open the live site when needed
If numbers look suspicious, compare them against the actual published URL rather than the preview.
Boundary
Use analytics for live questions only
The `Analytics` tab becomes much clearer when you treat it as a post-publish surface.
Use `Website` for preview validation.
Use `Publish` to push a known-good state live.
Use `Analytics` to understand what happened after users reached the live site.
