How to view website visitor stats in cPanel

Open Metrics in cPanel and choose Awstats or the available statistics tool. Select the domain you want to review. You can see visits, bandwidth, popular pages, referring websites, search phrases and visitor countries. These reports are server-side and can show useful traffic even if analytics scripts are blocked by browsers. They are not a full replacement for Google Analytics or privacy-focused analytics, but they help identify traffic spikes, bots, large downloads and bandwidth usage. Review stats regularly to understand how your website is being used and when you may need more resources.
