The performance chart is the centerpiece of Bouncy Analytics. It gives you a visual timeline of your link's traffic, making it easy to spot trends, spikes, and patterns at a glance.

What the Chart Shows

The clicks chart is an area chart — a line graph with the area below the line filled in with a gradient color. The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents time, and the vertical axis (y-axis) represents the number of views.

Each data point on the chart represents the number of views recorded during a specific time interval. The intervals automatically adjust based on the time range you've selected:

Shorter time ranges (Today, Yesterday, Last 24/48 Hours) display hourly data points
Longer time ranges (Last 7 Days and above) display daily data points

How to Read the Chart

Hovering for Details

Move your mouse cursor (or tap on mobile) over any point on the chart to see a tooltip with the exact data:

The specific date or time for that data point
The exact number of views

Identifying Trends

Rising line — your traffic is growing over the selected period
Falling line — traffic is declining
Flat line — traffic is consistent
Spikes — sudden jumps usually indicate a link being shared on a new platform, featured in content, or clicked from an ad campaign

Spotting Patterns

Look for recurring patterns in your chart:

Daily patterns — on shorter time ranges, you might see traffic peak during certain hours and drop during overnight hours
Weekly patterns — on 14-day or 30-day ranges, you might see consistent weekday/weekend differences
Event-driven spikes — one-off spikes often correspond to specific shares or mentions

Chart Behavior with Different Time Ranges

Time Range	Data Resolution	What You See
Today	Hourly	Each hour of the current day
Yesterday	Hourly	Each hour of the previous day
Last 24 Hours	Hourly	24 hourly data points
Last 48 Hours	Hourly	48 hourly data points
Last 7 Days	Daily	7 daily data points
Last 14 Days	Daily	14 daily data points
Last 30 Days	Daily	30 daily data points
Last 90 Days	Daily	90 daily data points
Custom	Varies	Adjusts based on the length of your custom range

Website Analytics — Dual Metrics

If you're viewing analytics for a Bouncy Website, the chart may show two metrics:

Views — page loads
Clicks — button or link clicks on your page

These appear as separate areas on the chart, letting you visually compare how many visitors are arriving versus how many are taking action.

Adult Content Analytics — Dual Lines

For links with the adult content checkpoint enabled, the chart shows:

Views — total visitors arriving at the checkpoint page
Adult Confirmations — visitors who confirmed their age

The gap between these two lines represents visitors who left without confirming. If this gap is large, it could indicate that legitimate visitors are being deterred, or that you're receiving traffic from audiences who aren't your target demographic.

Comparison Mode

When you activate the Compare feature, the chart displays multiple overlapping area lines — one for each link being compared. Each link gets a distinct color from a rotating palette (cyan, sky, blue, indigo, violet, purple, pink, rose, red).

Tips for Using the Chart Effectively

Start with a wider view, then narrow down. Begin with Last 30 Days to see the big picture, then zoom into specific periods that look interesting using Custom date ranges.
Correlate spikes with your actions. When you see a traffic spike, think about what you did that day — did you share the link somewhere new, post content, or run an ad?
Look at the shape, not just the peak. A link that gets 100 views per day consistently may be more valuable than one that got 500 views once and then dropped to zero.
Use comparison for A/B testing. If you have two similar links shared in different places, use the Compare feature to see which channel drives more traffic over time.
