Historical reports tell you what already happened; live activity monitoring shows you what's happening this second — visitors currently browsing, pages currently being viewed, activity as it unfolds.
Historical analytics are essential, but they can't tell you what's happening right now — and sometimes right now is exactly what matters, like the minutes after you launch a promotion or import a fresh batch of listings.
Live activity monitoring closes that gap, giving you a genuine real-time read on what visitors are doing on your site at this exact moment.
