Calculated automatically from your WordPress data on the standard refresh. See the At a glance summary for what it tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

*A representative reading of **Views Trend** for a typical WordPress account.* The card reports the current value alongside a comparison against the previous period — direction matters. When it moves outside the expected range, cross-reference the siblings below to find the cause; use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes and Ask Viq for natural-language exploration.

## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in WordPress's own dashboard:** find this metric (or its components) under the relevant report/section. Confirm the period boundaries and any filters match the Vortex IQ profile to reconcile cleanly. The Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ due to period definition, time zone, sampling, or how the vendor buckets the underlying records.
