Why this module matters
Traffic metrics tell you how visible the site likely is
Use rank, visits, geography, and engagement signals together. No single metric is enough, but the combination is useful for prioritization and market sizing.
- Compare global rank and monthly visits first.
- Use top countries and traffic mix to understand audience shape.
- Check domain age and dates before making durable assumptions.
