๐Ÿ” Using the Visitors Interface in cPanel

The Visitors interface in cPanel provides an easy way to monitor your website's traffic by showing the most recent entries in the Apache log for your domain. This tool is especially useful for identifying visitor behavior, spotting unusual activity, and troubleshooting access issues.

๐Ÿ“Œ What You Can See:

  • IP addresses of visitors
  • Requested URLs
  • Status codes (200, 404, etc.)
  • Time and date of access
  • User agents (browser/device info)
  • Referring websites

๐Ÿ“ˆ Why Itโ€™s Useful:

  • Quickly see who visited your site and when
  • Identify traffic patterns or bot activity
  • Track which pages are most frequently accessed
  • Monitor suspicious IPs or failed login attempts
  • Debug website errors (e.g., 404 Not Found)

โœ… How to Access:

  • Log in to your cPanel account.
  • Scroll to the Metrics section.
  • Click on Visitors.
  • Choose the domain you want to inspect.
  • View the most recent log entries.

๐Ÿ“Š Pro Tip:

Use this alongside AWStats or Webalizer for more detailed analytics. If you notice a spike in error codes or unfamiliar IPs, consider tightening security using IP Blocker or enabling ModSecurity from your cPanel.
