What

It should be easier to see all the stats for a post – web traffic and email opens.

How
Goal:

It should be easier to see all the stats for a post – web traffic and email opens.

Details:

When viewing a single post's web stats at a URL like the one below, I can see views, likes, comments, etc.

https://wordpress.com/stats/post/12345/mysite.com

To view the email opens stats for the same post, I have to navigate away from this page to Traffic, then find the single post stats for email opens lower on the Traffic page. At a URL like the one below.

https://wordpress.com/stats/email/opens/day/12345/mysite.com

I can click on "Highlights" from this page to see the web stats, but I can not easily navigate in the opposite direction.

There should be a clear and easy way to navigate between these two stats. Or, these two stats should be present on the same page.

Notes

Why? I'm often generating reports for folks to let them know how well a post is doing. One part of that is how many people are viewing the post on the web, the other is how many folks that have subscribed to a post are receiving and opening the email version of the post. Those two stats combined give a more whole picture of how well a post is doing.

I have written a javascript bookmarklet to open the email stats in a new tab as a workaround. Which is great for me, but not scalable to the other folks who manage the site who might not be aware of, or comfortable with, using bookmarklets.

Research direction

Start by comparing the single-post web stats entry point at /stats/post/12345/mysite.com with the email opens entry point at /stats/email/opens/day/12345/mysite.com, including the existing Highlights navigation. Identify where each page is assembled and determine a clear path between them or a combined view. Done means users can move between both stat views for the same post without leaving the stats workflow.
