For real clicks to show up as part of campaign stats, there is a ~<5 minute delay. The delay allows us to perform operations that prevent the system from slowing down over time.
You can see clicks in about 30-40 seconds in your raw clicks&conversions log however.
Thrive utilizes a complex structure of caching data so that over time, no matter how much data you have, the vast majority of stats will load just as fast no matter what date range of data you try to pull.
This benefit becomes more and more apparent over time as Thrive never slows down, while our competitor products start to take a long time to load each report, especially over a long date range.
For our distributed infrastructure, Thrive's caching system also pipelines all the data from all our Amazon data centers.
For the fastest possible redirects, Thrive's Cloud Service is deployed over all Amazon data centers worldwide. This ensures that our click tracking is on the fastest infrastructure possible with multiple load-balanced servers in every Amazon data centers.
As you can imagine, when we are tracking your clicks across potentially hundreds of servers, aggregating and caching all that data from various servers all over the world into your central database can take some time.
Thrive is the only tracker that has the ability to keep all reporting pretty much instant when you have lots and lots of data over time.
If you're interested in further detail, we have focused specifically to make sure that the fewest operations are necessary to make the redirects as fast as possible. For example, if redirect rules are not turned on for a campaign, we don't even process the user agents into location, device, etc. That meta data is processed afterward via a cron job. I believe all other trackers try to resolve all the meta data of a visitor before they redirect them, which slows down the redirect.

We've decided to emphasize speed and performance experience for your traffic to maximize ROI and sacrificed some minutes of the clicks not being shown in your interface immediately.
I hope you can appreciate our focus on performance and scale versus seeing the data some minutes earlier.
