# Using the Analytics Dashboard

LiFi’s Analytics Dashboard is the central hub where all your browsing data is visualized and interpreted. This guide walks you through each tab in the dashboard, explains what the data means, and shows how to apply it to improve productivity, privacy, and focus.

### Overview Tab

The Overview tab provides a high-level summary of your browsing activity.

#### What You See:

* **Total Visits**: How many pages you’ve visited
* **Total Time Spent**: Combined browsing time, broken down by hours, minutes, and seconds
* **Unique Sites Visited**: Count of distinct domains visited
* **Top Sites**: A list of most-visited websites
* **Trend Graphs**: Activity patterns across days or sessions

#### How to Use It:

* Spot patterns in your browsing habits
* Identify your most frequent destinations
* Monitor whether time online is increasing or decreasing over days

### History Tab

This is a detailed, chronological view of your browsing history.

#### Key Features:

* **Timeline**: All pages visited with timestamps
* **Domain Icons**: Visual cues for easier scanning
* **Expandable Data**: Inspect raw JSON data for technical insight
* **Search and Filters**: Find entries by keyword or date range

#### Use It To:

* Revisit pages you forgot to bookmark
* Track daily browsing flow
* Audit specific browsing sessions

### Analytics Tab

This tab breaks down engagement metrics by website.

#### Metrics Shown:

| Column             | Description                         |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| Site Domain        | The website you visited             |
| Total Visits       | How many times you visited it       |
| Total Time Spent   | Combined time spent on that site    |
| Average Time/Visit | Time per session on that site       |
| Last Visit         | Timestamp of the most recent access |

#### How to Use It:

* Identify high-usage websites
* Spot time-wasting or distracting domains
* Compare engagement between work vs leisure sites

***

### Searches Tab

This section displays your search history and categorizes your queries.

#### What You’ll See:

* **Search Terms**: Exact phrases you entered
* **Search Engine**: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.
* **Timestamp**: When the search occurred
* **Context**: Which page or site you searched from

#### Use Cases:

### Interactions Tab

This tab captures how you engage with websites beyond just visiting.

#### Interaction Types Tracked:

| Type    | Description                                  |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Clicks  | Button, link, or CTA interactions            |
| Scrolls | Tracks depth in percentages (25%, 50%, etc.) |
| Hovers  | Mouseover activity for interactive elements  |
| Forms   | Form submissions and field focus             |

#### Why It Matters:

* Engagement is more meaningful than just time spent
* Click-heavy sites may indicate productivity tools
* High scroll depth may reflect reading or content consumption

***

### Cookies Tab

Provides visibility into cookie activity across sites you visit.

#### Insights Provided:

* **All Cookies Detected**: Per domain breakdown
* **Cookie Properties**: Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite, expiration, etc.
* **Third-Party Cookies**: Identified separately
* **Change Events**: When cookies are added, updated, or removed
* **Privacy Score**: Calculated based on cookie behavior

#### Use This Tab To:

* Assess privacy risks
* Identify trackers and unnecessary cookies
* Learn which sites are most aggressive in tracking behavior

***

### AI Summary Tab

The most powerful part of the dashboard is the AI tab. It uses the Google Gemini API to generate intelligent insights based on your behavior.

#### Categories of Insights:

| Section            | What It Reveals                                          |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Productivity Score | Measures work vs entertainment time usage                |
| Social Media Usage | Tracks time spent on platforms like Facebook or Twitter  |
| Browsing Habits    | Peak hours, session lengths, daily patterns              |
| Interest Inference | Deduces your interests based on frequently visited sites |
| Privacy Analysis   | Detects tracking cookies and provides a privacy score    |
| Search Behavior    | Top search terms, engines used, search timing            |
| Recommendations    | Custom tips to improve focus, security, and time use     |

#### Fallback System:

If the AI service fails or is disabled, LiFi falls back to basic rule-based summaries and displays default metrics.

### Practical Use Cases

The dashboard is more than just a data viewer. Here are real-world ways to use the insights:

#### 1. Improve Focus

* Identify sites that dominate your attention span
* Cut down time spent on social platforms
* Set usage goals for productivity sites

#### 2. Monitor Privacy

* Regularly review cookies from visited sites
* Identify domains using third-party trackers
* Use the privacy score to guide browsing habits

#### 3. Track Productivity Goals

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://lifi-chrome-tracker.gitbook.io/lifi-chrome-tracker-docs/user-guide/using-the-analytics-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
