Which analytics reports should I check every morning?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm overwhelmed by the number of analytics reports available. I want to streamline my morning routine and focus on the most critical metrics that will help me make quick, data-driven decisions about my online store's performance. I need a clear, concise guide on which reports to prioritize and what specific insights I should be looking for to understand my store's health, customer behaviors, and potential growth opportunities.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Focus on a 5-metric daily dashboard: yesterday's revenue vs. target, conversion rate, sessions, AOV, and cart abandonment rate. These five tell you if the business is on track. Weekly, add ROAS and new vs. returning customer ratio. Don't review 20+ metrics daily - it creates noise without insight.

Essential Daily Analytics Reports

Analytics overload is as dangerous as ignoring data. The goal is a small set of health metrics reviewed daily, with deeper investigation triggered only when anomalies appear. Less is more - consistency in checking 5 metrics beats occasional review of 25.

The 5-Metric Daily Dashboard

Metric What It Tells You Alert If
Revenue vs. targetAre we on track for the month?15%+ below daily pace
Conversion rateIs the store converting at normal rate?Drop of 0.5%+ from 7-day avg
SessionsIs traffic normal? Ad problems?20%+ below 7-day avg without reason
Average order valueAre customers spending normally?10%+ drop vs. 7-day avg
Cart abandonment rateIs checkout working normally?Rise of 5%+ signals a checkout problem

Weekly Additions (Monday Review)

  • ROAS by channel (are ads profitable?)
  • New vs. returning customer ratio (retention health)
  • Email open + click rates (list engagement)
  • Top performing products (double down on winners)
  • Slow-moving inventory (promotions needed?)
