Weekly Active Users

In tyGraph Pages, Weekly Active Users refers to the total number of unique users who viewed a page in the last seven days of the specified date.

We plot this overtime to give you an understanding of how many users you can expect to hit content at any point in a 7-day period.

How do we interpret WAU?

WAU allows you to see how many users you attract in a week. As a point in time its best compared to your Daily and Monthly Active users. The difference between these values helps you understand the "stickiness" of your hub, site, or page. Your WAU trend can also be used as an early warning for user churn.

  • WAU vs Daily Users

Weekly Active Users provide an excellent goal for single-day active users. If you have a day that equals or approaches your weekly active users, then you engaged as many people in a day as you would expect to spread across an entire week.

Checking your Daily active users also provides context to see if weekly users are the result of consistent user traffic or from a single event.

MAU, WAU and DAU by date.

WAU vs Monthly Users

Similarly, the distance between your weekly and monthly active users tells you a great deal about your audience behavior.

MAU, WAU and DAU by date.

WAU Trend

The trend of your WAU score particularly compared to your MAU score can be an early sign of user churn.

MAU, WAU and DAU by date.

We can use this trend to compare the expected total number of users in a week with the number of users logging in each day. If users are logging in daily, these trends will be very similar.

Monthly Active Users

In tyGraph Pages, Monthly Active Users are the total unique users who viewed a page within the last 30 days of the given date

We plot this overtime to give you an understanding of how many users you can expect to hit content at any point in a monthly period. This measure provides an excellent baseline for how many users are generally on the platform.

How do we Interpret MAU?

Monthly active users MAU represents the total number of unique users who interacted with your content at least once in a given month. This metric serves as a ceiling for potential engagement within your audience – it reflects your maximum reachable user base but does not inherently measure depth of engagement or loyalty.

This provides you with a value to compare with your weekly and daily active users. The closer WAU or DAU are to your Monthly Active users, the larger portion of your population is engaging with your content. If you can make your WAU and MAU similar for a consistent period of time, then you have content which users return on a weekly basis. If you would really like to challenge yourself, try to have your Daily Active Users very similar to your Monthly Users. This is the essence of the DAU/MAU ratio, which compares daily to monthly users. The closer the lines, or the higher the DAU MAU ratio the stickier your content is. For example, Instagram is said to have a 60% DAU/MAU. See this article for details: DAU/MAU Ratio topic in the Analytics and Reporting FAQs.
