The WP Statistics plugin features two main types of charts for analyzing your website’s data:
Line Charts
Horizontal Bar Charts
1. Line Charts
Line charts are commonly used to display metrics like Visitors and Views over time. Here’s how to navigate and utilize them:
Key Features:
Metric Toggle: The metrics (e.g., Visitors, Views) are displayed at the top left. You can click on any metric to hide or show it for better comparison.
Previous Period Comparison: Dotted lines indicate data for the previous period, allowing you to quickly compare performance trends. To disable this feature, navigate to:
Settings → Display Options → Uncheck Previous Period in Charts.
Dynamic Intervals:
Daily: The default interval for date ranges under 61 days.
Weekly: Automatically applies if your date range is 61 days or more.
Monthly: Activated for date ranges of 181 days or more.
Custom Date Format: The charts use the date format you’ve set in your WordPress settings, ensuring consistency with your website.

Key Features:
Data Display: Shows both the number and percentage of the top 4 items, with the rest grouped as “Others.”
Compact Visualization: Ideal for quick insights into categories like most-used operating systems, browsers, or other top contributors.
