Sharing

Creating a share link

Make a read-only dashboard link anyone can open, with no account.

Steps

  1. Open the site's settings — sharing is set per site, so each one has its own link and its own choices.

  2. Go to Sharing.

  3. Tick the sections the board should show. Revenue, Search Console keywords and Google Analytics history start off; everything else starts on.

  4. Set how far back viewers can look. This is independent of your plan's retention and can be shorter — a three-month board does not have to open five years of history.

  5. Publish board, then copy the URL.

Published. Everything unticked is absent from the page, not hidden; the live view is never on a board at all.

The URL

https://truestat.io/share/yoursite.com

The address is your site's domain, so the link says what it is. That is the point: a board you post on X or link from your own site is meant to be read, and a URL nobody can read is a URL nobody clicks.

That means:

  • Treat the board as public. Anyone you send it to can forward it, screenshot it, or post it. If something on it should not be public, turn that section off rather than relying on the address being obscure — which is why revenue starts switched off.

  • The address is yours, first come. One site takes yoursite.com; if another account has already published that domain, you will be asked to get in touch.

  • The address never changes. Turning sharing off and on again, or renewing an expiry, keeps the same URL — nobody you sent it to needs a correction.

  • We ask search engines not to index it. That request is honoured by the major crawlers, but a URL that ends up somewhere crawlable can still be found by anyone who sees it there.

Turn a section off and it is not rendered and not fetched — the data does not reach the browser at all, so it cannot be recovered from the page source.

Three sections start off: revenue, keywords and imported history. A board is usually shared to show traffic. Takings are a different kind of disclosure; the keywords tell a competitor which searches bring you traffic; the imported history comes from your own Google account. Turning any of them on is a deliberate act, because a link you have already sent cannot be un-sent.

The live view is never shared, and there is no setting for it. Your own dashboard still shows who is on the site right now; a link does not hand that out.

The range cap is independent of your retention. A 30-day cap means a viewer cannot query further back than 30 days even though you have three or five years. Use it when someone should see the current picture rather than your whole history; pick 365 when they need the year.

One link per site

Each site has one link. Changing the settings changes what that link shows; there is no second link with a different set of sections.

That is deliberate, and it follows from the address: the URL is your domain, so there is only one of it. Several links would each need switching off separately and remembering which went to whom — which nobody does.

Before you send it

Read What a viewer can see. Someone about to publish their traffic numbers is entitled to know exactly what they are publishing, field by field, before they click.
