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
