How to Use Charts

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.

Example:

*This chart showcases Visitors and Views trends over the past month.*

2. Horizontal Bar Charts

Horizontal bar charts are primarily used in widgets on the Dashboard or Overview Page to display distribution data, such as operating systems or browsers.

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.

Example:

*This chart displays the most-used operating systems in the last 30 days.*
