Easily monitor and analyze your site's visitor data from the past 7 days using the Activity Log panel in Squarespace Analytics.

The Activity Log provides detailed visitor information for each page visit, including:

  • Date and time
  • IP address
  • Referrer URL
  • Browser version
  • Operating system

This detailed tracking helps you understand:

  • Geographic location of visitors
  • Traffic sources and patterns
  • Unusual traffic spikes
  • Visitor behavior across different regions
