Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 31, 20214 yr I have seen the guest and member chart, but cannot find visitor counts? I also know that monthly costs go up with a certain number of visitors, so have to ask, what is Envisions definition of a visitor, or where do they come from?
January 31, 20214 yr A visitor is anyone accessing your site. That includes your admins, your members, bots, people who aren't logged in... A guest is a visitor who isn't logged into an account. We're members in this community but if we logged out, we'd be guests, just as we are when we browse any other community for which we don't have an account.
January 31, 20214 yr Members = people who are logged in. Guest = members who aren't logged in OR don't have an account. Visitors = members+guests. Also, when you say "guest and member chart" are you talking about what is found in 'ACP->Statistics->Users->Online Users'? Because if you are, do note that this is NOT an actual traffic chart and if you sum up the numbers you WILL NOT get the number of visitors your site has, as explained here.

If IPS ever increases your plan on Cloud, you can request to move down to save $$.

Yes, that is the chart, and l know that there is a disparagingly between that and reality, (Amazon links showed much high numbers). If IPS ever increases your plan on Cloud, you can request to move down to save $$. So they can restrict traffic of non members, good to know.
February 1, 20214 yr So they can restrict traffic of non members, good to know. No, IPS doesn't restrict traffic. It'll just move you down to lower plan, until you get more members and they will bump you up again. This is useful if you have a temporary boost of members.
