Share links
A share link shows a read-only dashboard of one site to anyone who has the link, such as a client, without a WordPress account. A site can have any number of links, and each can be revoked on its own. To show the dashboard inside a page of the site instead, see Embedding a dashboard.
Creating a link
Open the site’s Sharing section, beside its dashboard.
- Enter a Link name, such as
Client report - Optionally set a Password. Leave it empty for a public link
- Under Visible cards, switch on the cards the link shows: Sources, Pages, Locations, Devices and Goals
- Turn on Preset the dashboard’s filters to show only the segment the dashboard is filtered by, such as a group of pages
- Under Period, keep Chosen by the viewer, open the page on the dashboard’s current period with Opens on, or show only that period with Always
- Turn on Hide branding to hide the domain and the Track branding
- Click Create share link
The links appear above the form, each with its preset below its name and its address with Copy. The trash icon revokes a link after asking. The dashboards the site’s posts embed are listed below the form, to revoke the same way; see Embedding a dashboard.
Presets
Filter the dashboard and choose its period, then open Sharing in the same workspace tab: a new link can take both along. Preset filters apply to everything the shared page shows and appear first among its filter chips with a lock instead of a remove button; the viewer cannot remove them, only add filters of their own within the visible cards. A fixed period replaces the period picker with the period’s name. The server enforces both, whatever the page’s address asks for. Links made before presets show the whole site as before.
What the shared page shows
The link opens a page on the install’s own domain, outside the WordPress admin. It shows the headline metrics, the visitors chart, the realtime count and the chosen cards, with the period picker, custom ranges and filters, which work as on the dashboard. Filters are limited to the cards the link shows.
The Campaigns card, funnels, annotations, saved views, export, the site settings and the installation check are never shared. With Hide branding on, the page is titled with the link’s name instead of the domain and shows no site icon beside the title.
Passwords
A protected link first asks for the password. After it is entered, the page
reloads with a ph parameter in its address that carries a hash of the
password, so that address opens without asking again; treat it like the
password. Changing the password means revoking the link and creating a new
one.
Privacy
Shared pages ask search engines not to index them and are never cached. A view of a shared page is logged as an internal event that never counts as traffic, a goal or a webhook delivery. Revoking a link or deleting the site ends access immediately.
