Traffic Sources & Exit Paths follows the whole journey. Which channel sent them, which page they landed on, which site referred them, and where they went when they left you. Most analytics tools show you half of that and call it a picture.
OBSERVETraffic Sources & Exit Paths is one of six Observe tools. → Explore them all
Which channels bring people in, and how engaged those people are once they arrive.
Which pages they land on first, and which sites sent them there.
Wich external destinations visitors continue on to.
Direct, email, paid ads, organic search, social media and referrals, side by side, each with pages per session, session duration and bounce rate attached. That's the difference between a channel that delivers volume and a channel that delivers people who stay. One of those is worth more budget. The other is worth cutting.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral all get their own channel here, sitting alongside organic search and social exactly where they belong. And these are forwarded visits from real people, not bots and not crawlers, so the number in front of you is a number you can act on. Ask most analytics tools how much traffic AI is sending you and they can't answer.
Almost every analytics tool stops at the exit and shrugs. This one keeps going. See the third-party sites your visitors click through to, ranked by how much of your traffic they take, and set what's coming in against what's going out. Affiliates you're feeding for free. Partners worth keeping. Competitors worth worrying about.
Every page ranked by visits, then entry points isolated on their own, so you can see exactly where journeys begin and how many start there. Then look at who sent them. Referring sites are listed with the specific pages that linked to you, one click away, so you know both who is sending traffic and what those visitors met when they landed.
Every tool runs on the same tracking code, and the filters you set follow you from report to report,. So a number on this page becomes a recording, a funnel or an answer in one click. Observe is where it starts. Here's the whole route.
