Delay in hits?

Is there a delay between the time that hits are recorded and when they are visible in your analytics screen or is it instant?

Thanks.

 

Reports are delayed by 24 hours

 

I too have seen the delays, I just guessed that it was after some hours, thanks that I came to know it is 24 hours

 

Thanks, that's just answered one of my questions - cheers

 

If you want a real time package - add statcounter as well.

 

All delays are 24 hours unless you use a real-time analytics tool like omniture or you use a dedicated server with awstats where you can update at any time -- Set that up to a cronjob of every 2 mins updates and you would have near real-time analytics.
