Portfolio Traffic Dashboard

Built an automated traffic monitoring system that pulls unique visitor data from AWStats across all 30 sites on the cPanel server. A root cron job runs daily at 4 AM, parsing AWStats data files from each site's home directory and generating a consolidated JSON report. The dashboard — embedded in the Product Hub header — shows yesterday's total visitors as the hero metric, with a 7-day rolling average, month-to-date unique visitors, and a sparkline trend line. An admin-only expandable view breaks down traffic by individual site with animated bar charts. Designed to track portfolio-wide growth as sites come online and gain traction. The whole pipeline is zero-dependency: PHP reads flat files, outputs static JSON, and vanilla JavaScript renders the widget.
