What Are Impressions and How Do They Work?

Navigating the intricacies of ActiveCalculator's impression counts can be straightforward when you understand the basics. This article will guide you through what calculator impressions are, how they're counted, and how to manage your usage efficiently to ensure your calculators remain active and accessible to your audience.

What Are Impressions?

Calculator impressions are a measure of how many times your calculator is loaded and fetched. An impression is counted every time your calculator is viewed on a sharable link, embedded on a website, or accessed in any other way. This is a critical metric, as it helps you gauge the popularity and reach of your calculators across the web.

Impression Limits by Plan

ActiveCalculator provides several subscription plans, each with its impression limits:

• Free Plan: Best for beginners, offering 500 impressions per month.
• Lite Plan: Designed for growing needs, with 3,000 impressions per month.
• Plus Plan: For advanced users, offering 15,000 impressions per month.
• Professional Plan: Aimed at high-demand users, with 75,000 impressions per month.
• Advanced Plan: Catering to enterprise-level needs, offering 375,000 impressions per month.

Monitoring Your Impression Use

Keeping an eye on your usage is essential to avoid service disruptions. Here's how to check your impression count:

1. Log in to your ActiveCalculator account.
2. In the bottom left sidebar, find your workspace name; adjacent to it, you'll see your current impression count and the date when your impressions will reset.

What Happens When You Run Out of Impressions?

If your account exceeds the allotted number of impressions, your calculators will be temporarily disabled. To prevent this, ActiveCalculator sends alerts when you reach 80% and 100% of your limit, giving you ample time to consider upgrading your plan.

Solving Impression Limit Issues

When you hit your impression ceiling, you have two options:

1. Wait until the next billing cycle when your impressions automatically reset.
2. Upgrade your plan to immediately increase your monthly limit and reactivate your calculators.

Tracking Impressions for Individual Calculators

To manage your resources effectively, you may want to know which calculators are consuming the most impressions. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the calculator detail page.
2. Click on the 'Results' tab to view the impression usage for that particular calculator.

Conclusion

Understanding and managing your calculator impressions is crucial to the smooth running of your services offered through ActiveCalculator. By staying informed about your usage and knowing how to address any limits reached, you ensure that your calculators are always available when your customers need them.
