It gives an overview of trends in click counts, geographic distribution, device ratios, referrers, access patterns by time of day, and more. UTM parameters are also used to distinguish sources, and Google Analytics Help (as of October 2026) lists utm_source (source), utm_medium (medium), utm_campaign (campaign), and others, and recommends always using these three when adding parameters to a URL.
The foundation of dashboard design is clarifying KPIs. For URL shorteners, total clicks, unique clicks, CTR (click-through rate), click ratio by region, and ratio by device are the main metrics. These are expressed visually with time-series graphs, heat maps, pie charts, and so on, so that trends can be grasped at a glance.
There are two approaches to the data processing architecture: real-time analytics and batch analytics. Real-time analytics aggregates click events one after another with stream processing such as Kinesis or Kafka and reflects them on the dashboard. It makes it easy to check the response right after a campaign starts. Batch analytics is a method that aggregates logs at fixed intervals, and while it keeps the number of processing runs down, data is reflected later by the length of the aggregation interval.
Some configurations give the dashboard a data export function. Through downloads in CSV or JSON format and API integration with Google Analytics or BI tools, it can be integrated with the organization's existing analytics infrastructure.
Dashboard design also takes into account the cognitive load caused by information overload. A hierarchical structure that places the main KPIs on the first screen and lets detailed data be checked by drilling down makes it easier for users with different levels of familiarity to use it in their own way.
