Monitoring & Analytics

The Monitoring page shows how many people visit your site, how much data you use, how fast pages load, and how well caching is working. Find it under Monitoring in your domain’s sidebar.

Two related pages: Uptime & Outages for when your server stops answering, and Recommendations for what to do about what the numbers show.

At the top, choose how far back to look: last 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. The page updates to match. Data is kept about a month, so 30d is the longest window.

Four cards give you the headline numbers:

  • Total Requests — how many requests your site received.
  • Usage — total data (bandwidth) used.
  • Unique Visitors — how many different people visited.
  • Error Rate — the share of requests that failed (lower is better).
  • Requests Over Time — request traffic rising and falling.
  • Cache Hit Rate — a donut of Hits (served from cache), Misses (fetched from your server) and Bypass (skipped on purpose), with your hit-rate percentage in the middle. Higher is faster and lighter on your server. See How Caching Works.
  • Bandwidth Over Time — data sent and received, over time.
  • Status Codes — response codes your site returned, top three highlighted.

nsin serves your site from many locations. These show where traffic is handled, filterable by a single location:

  • Egress by Cache Status — data served from cache vs. missed vs. bypassed.
  • Egress by Request Status — data served from cache, proxied to your server, or sent directly.
  • Traffic by Edge Node — a table of each location’s country, requests, data, cache breakdown, and share of your traffic.
  • Cache Storage — items cached, total size, hit/miss counts.
  • Performance — response times: Avg Response, and P90/P95/P99 for your slower requests (P95 means 95% of requests were at least this fast). Color-coded: green ≤200ms, yellow ≤1000ms, red over 1000ms.
  • User Agents — which browsers and bots visit, and how often.
  • Requests by Country — where your visitors are, plus your most-visited pages.

I don’t see the Monitoring page. Your plan may not include it. See Plans to upgrade.

It says “No data available”. No traffic yet for the period you chose. Try a longer period, or check back after your site gets visitors.

My hit rate is low — is that bad? It means more requests hit your server, which can be slower. Improve it with Cache Rules.

My response times are red. Red means slow. A higher cache hit rate usually helps. Recommendations points at the specific addresses dragging the average down.

How do I see individual requests? The request log shows recent requests with status, size and timing. A separate log shows what the WAF matched.
