Social Hampster tracks two types of engagement for every feed component on your site: views and clicks. This data is available in your dashboard with no setup required. Tracking starts automatically as soon as a component is live on your site.

No setup needed. Analytics tracking is built in to every Social Hampster component. You do not need to add any tracking code or connect a third-party analytics tool.

What is tracked

Metric When it is counted

Views

Counted each time your feed component enters a visitor's viewport. This means the visitor scrolled the feed into their visible screen area.

Clicks

Counted each time a visitor clicks on a post card in the feed. Clicking a card typically opens the original post on the social platform.

Where to see your analytics

Main dashboard β€” overall stats

Go to app.socialhampster.com. The Statistics section near the top of the dashboard shows your totals across all feeds:

  • Today's Views and Today's Clicks β€” activity from the current day

  • Total Views and Total Clicks β€” cumulative totals for the selected time period

Use the filter buttons to switch between Today, This Week, and This Month.

Note on view counting: A view is counted when the component enters the visitor's viewport, not when the page loads. This means if a visitor never scrolls to see the feed, it will not count as a view. This gives you a more accurate picture of actual engagement.

Understanding click-through rate

Click-through rate (CTR) is the percentage of feed views that resulted in at least one click. For example, if your feed was viewed 100 times and visitors clicked a post 12 times, your CTR is 12%.

A higher CTR means visitors are engaging with your social content and clicking through to see more. CTR varies by platform and content type β€” image-heavy feeds (Instagram, Dribbble) typically see higher CTR than text-heavy feeds (Threads).
