Trackbase collects data on a daily rhythm. Knowing that rhythm explains why today often looks different from yesterday, and when a new prompt or page shows its first results.
Prompts and answers
- Every active prompt runs once every 24 hours on each model you track.
- Answers do not all arrive at the same moment. Some models return an answer directly, others are collected later, so a day fills up gradually.
- If a prompt runs more than once on the same model on one day, the first run counts in your metrics. That keeps daily numbers stable.
Why today looks emptier
The current day is still collecting answers, so its numbers are incomplete until the day is over.
- The trend chart on the dashboard shows a 7-day moving average and leaves out the current day.
- The visitor timeline also shows completed days only.
- Period numbers on the metric cards can include today.
Compare completed days with completed days. To judge a change, wait until the day is over.
Website data
- Visitor analytics: visits are recorded as they happen. The number for today updates live, while the timeline shows completed days.
- Crawler analytics: crawler requests come in as they happen. The request log covers the last 30 days.
- Page tracker: each tracked page is checked when you add it and once a day after that.
