Newsroom-grade analytics, without the newsroom-grade price tag
For digital publishers, B2B media networks, and editorial teams. Watch the AI search era reshape your traffic in real time. See what readers actually read, not just what they clicked. EU-hosted, privacy-first, and a fraction of what Chartbeat or Parse.ly cost.
Hit publish, watch the story take off
Refresh-free real-time view shows active readers, their entry pages, and which sources are driving the spike, all in the same moment the article goes live. Updates every 30 seconds.
Crucially, you see scroll depth and engagement live too. The headline is doing its job if visitors are arriving. The article is doing its job if they are still reading 30 seconds later. Most analytics tools surface one but not the other.
- See traffic sources update live: Twitter, Reddit, HN, newsletters, Google Discover
- Catch a viral moment as it happens, not 24 hours after the fact
- Spot a misfiring headline within minutes (high arrivals, low scroll)
- Newsroom comparison: today vs the average of the last 4 same weekdays
See the traffic AI is sending you. And the traffic it isn't.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini are now the second largest referrer category for many publishers. GA4 lumps them under Direct or Other. Clickport classifies them as a first-class channel called AI Search, with each provider broken out as its own row.
You also see which AI crawlers are reading your content for training, indexing, or live retrieval, with separate categories for each. When Perplexity cites your article, you know.
- AI Search as a dedicated channel, not a footnote in "Other"
- Per-provider breakdown: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Kagi, You.com
- AI crawler tracking separated from human traffic (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.)
- Engagement metrics per AI source: AI traffic often scrolls and reads better than social
Pageviews lie. Engagement is the truth.
Highly engaged readers generate more than 100 times the revenue of one-off visitors. They subscribe, they click ads, they remember your brand. Pageviews count tab loads. Clickport counts actual reading.
Every page row shows scroll depth, real reading time (timer pauses when the tab is hidden), and a combined engagement score from 0 to 100. Sort by engagement to find articles that hold attention. Sort by visitors to find what's hot. The two are rarely the same.
- Engagement score per article, per source, per session
- Bounce rate that requires four conditions, not just a single pageview
- Compare engagement quality across channels: AI Search vs newsletter vs Twitter
- Weekday-aware baselines (today vs the average of last 4 same weekdays)
Manage every brand from one dashboard
One login, every property. The site switcher shows live visitor counts for each, so you see which brand is on fire right now without leaving the page. Drag and drop to reorder. Each site keeps its own goals, segments, API keys, and team settings.
Built for B2B media networks, multi-vertical publishers, and editorial groups managing several titles. Sub-domains, separate domains, language splits. They all live side by side.
Need to give an editor or a stakeholder a view-only dashboard for a specific site? Tokenized share links work without seats or invites, with optional password protection.
- Per-site realtime visitor counts in the site switcher
- Independent goals, filters, and saved segments per property
- Drag-and-drop reorder, by traffic or alphabetically or however you like
- Read-only share links for editors and stakeholders, no extra seats required
When readers copy your quotes, you should know
Every time a reader selects and copies text from your articles, Clickport captures the snippet, the page, and the visitor's session. No other analytics tool does this. For quote-driven editorial, it's the strongest signal of value you'll find.
Find the line in a 4,000-word feature that everyone is sharing. Discover that your trade publication's product names get copied dozens of times a day for procurement research. Spot the recipe step or the data point that resonates.
- News and analysis: see which quote or data point gets extracted into other articles
- Trade publications: see which product names and specs get copied for evaluation
- Recipe and how-to: see which ingredient lists and steps readers save
- Filter the Sessions panel by "Copied" to surface only your highest-intent readers
Separate engagement from real conversions
Your subscription signups are conversions. Your "scrolled 75%" and "spent 2 minutes" milestones are engagement signals. Both worth tracking, but they should not share a column.
Every goal in Clickport has a "counts as conversion" toggle. On: feeds the dashboard Conversions and Conversion Rate KPIs. Off: tracks visitors and event counts (plus full property breakdowns for custom events) but stays out of the headline math. Mix and match freely.
- Four goal types: pageview, click, form submit, custom event
- Custom events with up to 30 properties and revenue attribution
- Goal conditions with eight operators and AND/OR logic
- Engagement-only goals appear in the Goals panel but not in headline KPIs
Built for publishers who outgrew GA4 but can't justify Chartbeat.
