Analytics & reporting overview
The Analytics section in your Sirv account gives a deeper insight into data stored in Sirv. This includes which files are being served, to where and in what volume.
Analyse these stats to gain valuable insights into potential optimizations or issues with your content. Every file you upload and every file that is served is analysed from terabytes of logs collected. We aggregate billions of requests into actionable insights to support your business growth.
Both historical and real-time information about your account's Bandwidth, Performance, Errors, Spin views and Storage stats is shown. The following metrics are currently available:
- Total bandwidth per day
- Top 10 referral domains by traffic and requests
- Top 10 countries by traffic and requests
- Top 10 browsers by traffic and requests
- Top 50 files by traffic and requests
- Average response time
- Top files with errors
- 400 - Bad Request
- 403 - Forbidden
- 404 - Not Found
- 415 - Not Supported
- 500 - Server Error
- 503 - Service Unavailable
- Top 50 viewed spins
- Average storage usage
Overview
The Analytics Overview page is designed to provide the latest data "at a glance" so you can quickly review without drilling down. Select a section from the dropdown menu or click a graph to review details about each section.
Bandwidth
The Analytics Bandwidth page illustrates how much data transfer has been used to serve your optimized files. The amount used depends on the type of file served and the number of visitors to your website.
For further insight, switch between the 4 tabs to view your Top 10 referral domains, Top 10 countries, Top 10 browsers and Top 50 files.
Changing the time period
By default, all graphs display data for the previous 7-day period. Select Today, Yesterday, Last month, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days or Custom from the dropdown box to view data for a different period.
The Custom option lets you set a specific start and end date using the calendar date picker.
Performance
The Avg Response Time graph shows how much time, on average, it takes to request an image, process the data and get the response back to the client.
Errors
Graphs on the Analytics Errors page illustrate Mild Errors (4xx) and Severe Errors (5xx) stats if any occurred while serving files from your account.
Spin views
The Analytics Spin Views graph displays the total of spin views in your Sirv account.
Sirv tracks the number of times your spins are viewed and displays the total count on the Spin views page within your Sirv account. A "view" is counted every time the spin:ready event fires. This event fires after the images have downloaded and the spin is ready for interaction. Spins load lazily (by default), so the images will only download when the spin becomes visible within the viewport. If the spin is located lower on the page or in a gallery that isn't initially displayed, a view will not be counted until the user scrolls to it.
If a user goes to another page and returns to the original page, another spin view will be counted once the spin:ready event fires.
Storage
Use the Storage chart to see a summary of the total storage growth and historical storage usage for your Sirv account, which will help you understand how your account needs are growing over time.
Troubleshooting
If you notice an unexpected increase in bandwidth usage, check your videos have streams generated on them. Using a streamed version of your video means the relevant file size is served to the relevant User device. Also, ensure you've embedded videos on your website using Sirv code as opposed to <video> tag. This is because the <video> tag delivers the original master video to all visitors on every device (not the streamed version), which significantly impacts your bandwidth usage.
