The first chart of this page gives you a simple yet powerful overview (pie-chart and bar-chart) of the devices used by your visitors to visit your website. Besides a percentage it also presents you the amount of unique visitors per device in the selected period of time. Each bar in the bar-chart represents a device type.

This figure helps you to see whether you should optimize your website for a certain device type, as most of your visitors use it. If you, for instance, observe that most of your visitors are using mobile phones to access your website and you have not optimized for mobile phones, then you should do so in order to increase the user experience/traffic on your page.

In order to increase clarity of the pie-chart, only a few labels are shown right from the start – as you might have noticed these labels mark the most used devices by your visitors. Of course, you can hover each part of the pie-chart in order to see the distribution of the used device types. 

Important hints:

• If you move your cursor across a bar, a hover will appear showing you the exact amount of unique visitor using this device type and the percentage of your overall unique visitors visiting with this device type – a "46 %" hence means that 46% of your overall unique visitors have been using this device type.

This bar-chart provides you with a list of the operating systems (OS) used by your visitors to browse your website. Each bar represents a different operating system. The horizontal x-axis shows the number of unique visits done with an operating system. The scale of the x-axis is always generated automatically.
