Step 2: See how your site is performing daily and hourly

If you want to find out whether your site has peaks during certain times of day or on certain days of the week, Google Analytics can tell you.

• In the menu to the left, click on the word "Visitors".
• To the left beneath the main chart, you'll see a number of different statistical breakouts.
• Click on any of the words to get a bar-chart breakout of the daily performance for that aspect of site traffic measurement.
• If you want to learn hour-by-hour trends, click on the word "Hourly" above the bar chart to see an hour by hour graph for the time period at hand.
• To compare two different time periods, click on the dates above the line graph. Select the first set of dates you want to work with, check the "Compare to Past" box, click on the second set of dates, and click the "Apply Range" button.
