Dashboard Quick Info & Statistics

Your Central Command Center

The Dashboard is your homepage in the Manager. It provides a bird's-eye view of your entire site's health and activity at a glance.

Content Statistics Cards

The three large cards at the top show your content inventory:

419 Total Posts

What it counts: Every published blog post and article on your site.

Why it matters: Content is the lifeblood of any website. This number shows how much value you're providing to visitors.

Growth indicator: Watch this number grow over time as you publish consistently. Aim for steady, quality growth rather than quantity.

Benchmarks:

• 0-50 posts: New blog, still building authority
• 50-200 posts: Established content library, good SEO foundation
• 200-500 posts: Mature blog with significant topical authority
• 500+ posts: Content powerhouse, likely ranking for many keywords

11 Total Pages

What it counts: Static pages you've created (About, Contact, Services, etc.)

Why it matters: Pages provide essential information about your business and help convert visitors into customers.

Typical pages most sites need:

• Homepage
• About / About Us
• Contact
• Services / What We Do
• Privacy Policy (legally required in many regions)
• Terms of Service
• FAQ / Help

8 Categories

What it counts: How many topic categories you've organized your content into.

Why it matters: Categories help visitors find related content and improve SEO by creating topical hubs.

Best practices:

• 5-15 categories: Ideal range for most blogs
• Too few (1-3): Not enough organization, everything feels jumbled
• Too many (20+): Confusing, dilutes topical authority

Category strategy tips:

• Make them broad enough to have 10+ posts each
• Use clear, self-explanatory names
• Avoid overlap (a post should belong to ONE main category)
• Think about user intent, not just topics

Quick Actions

The top-right corner shows action buttons:

Sync Button

What it does: Manually triggers a fresh fetch of data from your WordPress backend.

When to use it:

• You just published a new post in WordPress
• You updated settings in WordPress admin
• Content isn't appearing on your headless site
• Cache seems stale

How it works: Clicks trigger an API call to WordPress, pull latest data, and rebuild necessary pages.

Note: Most systems auto-sync every few minutes, but manual sync gives you instant updates.

Cache Button

What it does: Clears all cached data and forces fresh rebuilds.

When to use it:

• Content looks outdated or incorrect
• Design changes aren't appearing
• After bulk content updates
• Troubleshooting display issues

Warning: Clearing cache can temporarily slow your site as pages rebuild. Do this during low-traffic times if possible.

Quick Info Section

Below the stats, you'll see a Quick Info grid with essential site details:

WordPress URL

Shows: Your WordPress backend URL (e.g., https://panel.example.net)

Why it's here: Quick access link to jump to your WordPress admin when you need to manage plugins, users, or backend-only tasks.

Tip: Bookmark this if you frequently switch between headless manager and WordPress admin.

Site Name

Shows: Your site's title (e.g., 'iSpAnYoL')

Where it's used:

• Browser tab titles
• Email notifications
• Social media shares (unless overridden)
• Search engine results (as site name in breadcrumbs)

To change: Go to General → Site Name field

Active Language

Shows: Primary language of your site (e.g., 'us English')

What it affects:

• HTML lang attribute for SEO
• Default text direction (LTR/RTL)
• Date/time formatting
• Number formatting

To change: Go to Languages → Site Language dropdown

Homepage Configuration

Shows: How many sections are active on your homepage (e.g., '8 Sections Active')

What it means: Your homepage is built from 8 different content blocks/sections.

Typical sections:

• Hero/Banner
• Latest Posts Grid
• Featured Categories
• Popular Posts
• Newsletter Signup
• Statistics/Numbers
• Testimonials
• Call to Action

To customize: Go to Homepage → Manage Sections

Using the Dashboard Effectively

Daily Check-in Routine

1. Glance at stats: Are post/page numbers growing as expected?
2. Check WordPress URL: Any maintenance notices or alerts?
3. Verify active language: Especially important if you run multi-language sites
4. Review homepage sections: Make sure your most important content is showcased

Weekly Review

• Compare post count to last week - are you publishing consistently?
• Review categories - do they need reorganization as your content evolves?
• Test sync button to ensure WordPress connection is healthy

Monthly Analytics Correlation

• How does post count growth correlate with traffic growth?
• Which categories have the most content? Do they match your strategy?
• Are you creating enough pages (sales/conversion focused) vs. posts (traffic/SEO)?
