WP Statistics Overview Page
WP Statistics Overview Page gives you a quick summary of all the statistics available.
It contains several “widgets” to display information:
Summary Statistics, Browsers, Top referring sites, Top 10 Countries, About, Top visitors on the map, Hits Statistical Chart, Search Engine Referrals Statistical Chart, Latest Search Words, Top Pages Visited and Recent Visitors.
Widgets
Each widget is comprised of a header bar and a statistical body. The header contains two areas:
The title (Browsers in the above example) and a controls area that has three buttons; details (if applicable), refresh, and “Minimize/Maximize.”
The details button will take you to a separate page with additional or more comprehensive statistics on the related items.
The refresh button will reload the contents of the widget.
The “Minimize/Maximize” control will collapse/expand the widget. Note that the widget state is not saved between page views, so they will re-expand the next time you visit the overview page.
The widgets are as follows:
