Why don't my Linkly clicks match between reports?
The Linkly help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: The dashboard's time zone cannot be changed, so if your plan lets you set another time zone on traffic reports, the same day can hold different clicks in each.
What causes it?
The dashboard's time zone cannot be changed, so if your plan lets you set another time zone on traffic reports, the same day can hold different clicks in each.
In the Linkly help:
The timezone on the dashboard cannot be changed.
Linkly's Click Data, read 2026-11-12.Asking a traffic report for the same link and period again can return cached figures, so a repeat report can lag recent clicks.
In the Linkly help:
Subsequent queries (i.e. requesting the same data again, e.g. the same link & time period) will result in being served cached data.
Linkly's Click Data, read 2026-11-12.If you read Linkly clicks in Google Sheets, the sheet refreshes about once a day on Google's schedule, so it can trail the dashboard.
In the Linkly help:
Google Sheets however only pulls the data roughly once per day.
Linkly's Click Data, read 2026-11-12.In workspaces with many links, the dashboard can run a couple of minutes behind.
In the Linkly help:
In some cases, data may be delayed by up to two minutes, where we utilize caching for workspaces with many links.

How do I check it myself?
When figures disagree, compare against a fresh request rather than a repeat of one you just ran, since Linkly serves the first request for a link and period fresh.
In the Linkly help:
The first query to data is always provided fresh.
Linkly's Click Data, read 2026-11-12.If a repeat report looks stale, compare again after a few hours, since cached figures are replaced within that time.
In the Linkly help:
The maximum cache lifetime is 3 hours.

How does Linkly work with Feder?
- Connect Linkly to Feder and it joins your Visits apps.
- When you connect Linkly, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Linkly, one of your Visits apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Linkly.
