Analytics

Where your visits come from, what they arrived on, and how a view is counted.

What counts as a view

A visit counts once per device every 12 hours. Refreshing does not run the number up, and neither does someone leaving your page open.

Counting window1 per device / 12 hours
Your own visitscounted, like anyone else's

Visits arriving over Tor or a commercial VPN are recorded but never counted. They are the shape a farmed view takes, and the honest number is the one worth showing.

The breakdowns

Your dashboard splits your visits referrer, country and device, and shows when they arrived.

Referrerwhere the visit came from
Countryfrom the request, never from a script
Devicethe platform the browser reports

There is no tracking script on your page. Everything here is read off the request that asked for it, which is also why the breakdowns are coarse rather than personal.

How far back it goes

How far back the dashboard lets you look depends on your plan.

Windows7 days, 14 days
Longest view14 days
Kept for24 months

Views older than 24 months are deleted, which is what our privacy policy promises rather than something it hopes for.

Hiding your count

Your view count can be hidden from your page. It is one switch under Settings, and it is thorough: the number disappears from your profile, from the JSON and from your README card.

Hiding your count also takes you off the leaderboard. The leaderboard ranks by views, so a page that will not show its number cannot be ranked by it. Your own dashboard still shows you everything.
