# Glide overview

> Glide counts page views on your Shopify store and splits them into Human, Agents, Bots and Suspect traffic, so you can see how much of your traffic is real shoppers.

![Glide](https://mintcdn.com/goodnative/bYMamJLGYtkI1vO-/images/glide-logo.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bYMamJLGYtkI1vO-\&q=85\&s=e2a22f7a711b6ac60aace108a5ffb5ba)

Glide measures page views on your Shopify store and classifies each one: **Human**, **Agents**, **Bots** or **Suspect**. A theme app embed does the capture - no theme-file edits. Results show in a **Traffic report** and a live **Activity** feed inside Shopify admin.

Glide is a separate app from Bloom, currently in alpha.

## How it works

* **One embed captures page views.** The **Glide** app embed sends one record per page view. It records home, product, collection, page, blog, search, cart and policy pages. Account, checkout and order pages are never recorded.
* **Each view gets a classification.** Glide flags known bot user agents, detected browser automation and unusual traffic spikes, and counts the rest as ordinary activity. See [Traffic report](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/traffic-report.md#audiences).
* **The report updates hourly.** Page views are rolled up every hour, so the newest hour can lag. The [activity feed](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/activity.md) shows views within seconds.
* **Consent gates visitor IDs.** Without analytics consent, Glide sends no visitor ID or UTM values and writes nothing to the browser. See [Data and privacy](https://help.goodnative.co/policies/data-and-privacy.md#glide).
* **Assistants can read it.** Shopify's Sidekick and [connected AI assistants](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/connect-your-ai-assistant.md) read the same data. Neither can change anything.

## What you need to do

1. [Enable the Glide app embed](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/quick-start.md) - one toggle in the theme editor
2. [Read your traffic report](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/traffic-report.md) - audiences, page types, countries and sources
3. [Watch the activity feed](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/activity.md) - the latest page views as they arrive
4. [Ask Sidekick](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/sidekick.md) about your traffic - optional
5. [Connect an AI assistant](https://help.goodnative.co/glide/connect-your-ai-assistant.md) - optional, read only
