Analytics for your site and business

Wix Analytics: About the Highlights Page


The Wix Analytics Highlights page gives you a complete overview of your site's activity across all areas. The Highlights page gathers information from both analytics reports and overviews into one convenient and centralized hub to help you make informed business decisions.


You can find the Highlights page under Analytics in your site's dashboard.

The top of the Highlights page gives you a glimpse of who is currently live on your site. Real-time visitor data is pulled from live activity in the past 5 minutes. If no live visitors are on your site, you'll see data from the last 30 minutes. Hover over a real-time visitor to see more detailed info about their current session.

Analyze marketing performance


The Highlights page also offers a preview of the Marketing Overview. If your site is connected to Google Search Console, you can see your Top Google searches by clicks. If you run a marketing campaign on your site, you can get highlights of your recent email campaigns and paid ad campaigns that were created with Wix.


When AI platforms have crawled your site enough, you also see which of your pages they crawled in answer to a user's question. This covers ChatGPT and Perplexity bots only.


Want to know how your site shows up on top AI platforms?


Explore the AI Visibility Overview to see how often your site is featured in AI-generated responses, compare your visibility to competitors, understand how your brand is perceived online, and more.

FAQs


Click a question to learn more about the Highlights page.


Visitor sessions from AI platforms are counted when an AI bot includes your site in its response and a visitor clicks the link to your site.

For example, if someone asks an AI platform (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini) "What are the best dog grooming services near me?" and the AI includes a link to your site in its response, a session is counted when the user clicks the link to visit your site.


User queries on AI are counted whenever an AI bot scans your site in response to a question asked on an AI platform. User queries on AI by page counts those queries broken down by pages, meaning it shows which specific pages were scanned by bots.

For example, if someone asks an AI platform "Where can I find organic groceries?" and the AI's bot crawls your site when generating its answer, this is counted as a user query on AI.

Note: This metric does not tell you whether this person ended up visiting your site or if the AI platform showed a link to your site in its response.


AI widgets appear on the Highlights page if your site meets the following thresholds:

  • Your site needs at least 5 site sessions from AI in the last 60 days to view data for sessions from AI platforms.

  • Your site needs at least 50 AI bot visits in the last 60 days to view data for AI bot visits by page.

If your site does not have this data, you'll see other stats instead. For example, instead of 'AI bot visits by page' you may see 'Top paid ads'.


Yes, you can access your site's highlights on the go with the Wix app or Wix Studio app.

Wix app:

  1. Go to your site in the Wix app.

  2. Tap Analytics

    Wix Analytics: About the Highlights Page

    at the bottom.

Wix Studio app:

  1. Go to your site in the Wix Studio app.

  2. Tap Manage.

  3. Tap Analytics and select Analytics Highlights.

Tip: Scroll down to see data for different overviews and pages, such as the Traffic Overview and Insights page.


You can go to the metric's overview page by clicking Go to X Overview at the top right of a section or see an Analytics report for that metric by clicking View Report beneath a statistic.

You can also click the View Reports drop-down at the top right of the Highlights page to see a full list of your recently viewed or saved reports. The recommended reports provided are personalized based on your site's actual data and activity.


There are a few reasons for why you may notice differences when comparing the Highlights page to other Wix Analytics overviews or reports:

  • The Highlights page shows marketing data from the last 30 days, including today. If you go to the full Marketing Overview, you will see data from the last 30 days up to yesterday.

  • The Highlights page displays real-time data, while other pages (e.g. Analytics reports or Behavior Overview) have a 1-hour delay. This may cause minor discrepancies in the numbers shown.

  • Wix Analytics only tracks site visitors who have given their consent to data collection. This means visitor numbers may appear lower compared to tools that track all visitors.
