Visitors: How to Read the statpx Visitor Log

Aggregate charts tell you what happened on average. The Visitors page (visitors.php) tells you what happened, one row at a time. Every pageview and session is logged with its time, URL, referrer, country, browser, operating system, and scroll depth — the raw material underneath every chart on the Stats page.

Opening the Visitor Log

Open a site and click Visitors in the sidebar. You'll see a paginated table, most recent hit first, with one row per pageview. Each row shows the timestamp, the page path (hover to see the full URL), the referrer (broken into host, path, and query so you can tell exactly which page linked you), the country flag, browser and OS icons, and a scroll-depth percentage.

Reading Each Column

• Time — when the pageview happened, in the site's configured timezone.
• URL / Path — the exact page visited. Long paths truncate in the table; hover for the full value.
• Referrer — the page that sent this visitor, split into readable host/path/query so you can spot exactly which article or ad drove the click, not just the domain.
• Country — geolocated from the visitor's IP, shown with a flag for fast scanning.
• Browser / OS — parsed from the user agent, shown with recognizable icons.
• Scroll Depth — the deepest point the visitor scrolled to on that page, as a percentage. Green means a deep scroll (75%+), blue is moderate, gray is shallow or unavailable. A row full of low scroll percentages on a long article is a stronger signal of disengagement than bounce rate alone.

For more on interpreting scroll data specifically, see scroll depth tracking.

Filtering the Log

The filter bar above the table lets you narrow the log without leaving the page:

• Path search — type part of a URL to see only hits to matching pages.
• Channel filter — Direct, Organic Search, Paid, Social, or Referral, computed from the referrer and UTM parameters.
• Bot toggle — include or exclude known bot/crawler traffic from the log.
• Date range — the same range tabs used across statpx, defaulting to a recent window.

Combine filters to answer specific questions — for example, path search for /pricing plus a Social channel filter shows exactly who reached your pricing page from a social link, in order, with their country and device.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Treating the log as a substitute for aggregate reports. The Visitors page is for spot-checking individual behavior, not for spotting trends — use Stats for that.
• Forgetting the bot toggle when investigating a traffic spike. A burst of hits from one country with identical timestamps and no scroll data is almost always a crawler, not real visitors.
• Reading the country column as precise city-level location. Geolocation from IP is generally reliable at the country level and less so below it — treat it as a directional signal, not an exact address.

See browser and device analytics and geographic analytics for how to use these breakdowns at the aggregate level.

The Bottom Line

The Visitors page is where you go when a chart raises a question a summary number can't answer — who exactly visited, from where, on what device, and how far they scrolled. Use path search and the channel filter to zero in fast, and always check the bot toggle before drawing conclusions from an unusual pattern. Once you've confirmed what happened at the row level, zoom back out to Stats or your Custom Board to see how it fits the bigger picture.
