40 | 33 |
|
41 |
| -This plugin makes it easy for chartbeat users to install the code they |
42 |
| -need to add to their site that enables chartbeat to track what's |
43 |
| -happening. Adding this plugin to your site if you do not have a |
44 |
| -chartbeat account will not provide you with any analytics. |
| 34 | +It’s an easy way for you to install the Chartbeat code you need in order to see what's happening on your WordPress site in real time. Make sure you [sign up for Chartbeat](http://chartbeat.com/signup) and have an active account first, or this plugin won’t work for your site. |

|
46 | 36 | = Will this plugin slow down my site? =
|
47 | 37 |
|
48 |
| -No, chartbeat's code is completely asynchronous. That means that it |
49 |
| -doesn't begin to run until everything else has already loaded. |
50 |
| - |
51 |
| -= How is this different from Google Analytics? = |
52 |
| - |
53 |
| -Chartbeat provides statistics in real-time and sends you alerts if |
54 |
| -your site goes down or your traffic spikes. This allows you to quickly |
55 |
| -respond by fixing your server, improving your content, responding to |
56 |
| -other bloggers, or whatever is appropriate for your site. Because |
57 |
| -chartbeat sends pings throughout a user's session, you also get a much |
58 |
| -richer sense of how people are using your site. |
| 38 | +Nope. Chartbeat code is completely asynchronous, meaning it doesn't begin to run until everything else on your page has already loaded. |
