Approximately 20% of people use ad-blockers, which also block trackers. This means that a significant portion of your traffic won't be logged by most services.

Luckily for you, is not like most services. With our reverse proxy Opens in new browser tab tracking configuration, the tracking code and all tracking beacons will route through generic pathnames on your website's domain name, instead of ours. This makes tracking much more reliable, as it will only be blocked by visitors do so manually. When we switched to proxy tracking for win.staticstuff.net, our numbers increased by almost 20%. What a difference!

Other services may in theory support a similar set up, but the difference is that our guides are fully dynamic, and generate the code for your specific site, rather than just giving you a template and having you figure out how to make it work for your site.

These dynamic guides are built into the tracking code page in your site preferences. Simply choose your server type or preferred method - Nginx Opens in new browser tab, Caddy Opens in new browser tab, Apache Opens in new browser tab, .htaccess Opens in new browser tab, and plain old PHP Opens in new browser tab - and customize a few other options as needed. All the code is then generated for you. It's a bit more involved than standard tracking set up, but it's really just matter of getting the code into the right place, and it's absolutely worth it if you have the means.
