Quickstart
On this page
Install the tracker first. Revenue and search data are optional extras; you don't need them to see visitors.
Create your site
Sign in with Google or a six-digit email code. Choose Add a site and enter a name and domain, such as
example.com.Save the secret key
The secret key is shown once, right after you create the site. Store it in your backend's secret manager as
METRICRAVEN_SECRET_KEY. It must never go in browser code.Add the script to your website
Copy the script from your site's Settings → Install card and paste it into your website's shared layout. The public site ID inside it is safe to publish. Follow Install & verify or pick your platform under Installation guides.
Open your website and check Traffic
Visit your website in a normal browser, then open the site's Traffic tab. You should see a pageview and, while the page is open, a live visitor.
Verify it works
Your first pageview confirms the public tracker works. Connecting a payment or search provider is a separate step.
What to set up next

Details
- The live window covers the last five minutes and refreshes every 15 seconds, independently of report dates and filters.
- Locations are approximate IP locations rounded to 0.1°. Visitors without coordinates still count toward the total.
- On busier sites, map and list filters use the 500 most recently active visitors; the total includes everyone.
- Recent goals and payments show site-wide activity from the last 30 minutes.
- Live reports are private and unavailable in public share and embed links.
