Exclude specific visits from your analytics to get more accurate data.

​
Why exclude visits?

  • Exclude your own visits - Don’t count your own testing and development
  • Exclude internal traffic - Don’t count visits from your team
  • Exclude test environments - Exclude staging or development sites
  • Exclude specific pages - Exclude admin pages or internal tools

​
Exclude your IP

  1. Go to your website settings in the dashboard
  2. Click “Settings” → “Exclusions”
  3. Add your IP address to the “Excluded IPs” list
  4. Click “Save”
Your visits from that IP will no longer be counted.

​
Exclude countries

Exclude entire countries from your analytics:
  1. Go to “Settings” → “Exclusions”
  2. Add countries to the “Excluded Countries” list
  3. Click “Save”

​
Exclude hostnames

Exclude specific hostnames (subdomains):
  1. Go to “Settings” → “Exclusions”
  2. Add hostnames to the “Excluded Hostnames” list
    • Example: admin.example.com, staging.example.com
  3. Click “Save”

​
Exclude paths

Exclude specific URL paths:
  1. Go to “Settings” → “Exclusions”
  2. Add paths to the “Excluded Paths” list
    • Example: /admin, /wp-admin, /api
  3. Click “Save”

​
Multiple exclusions

You can combine multiple exclusion rules:
  • Exclude IP 1.2.3.4 AND country US AND path /admin
  • All conditions must match for a visit to be excluded

​
View excluded visits

Excluded visits are not stored in your database, so they won’t appear in your analytics at all.

​
Best practices

  1. Exclude your IP - Always exclude your own IP address
  2. Exclude test environments - Exclude staging and development sites
  3. Exclude admin pages - Exclude internal admin interfaces
  4. Review regularly - Review your exclusion rules periodically
