Track
Exclude pages
Stop tracking admin screens, previews and other paths with data-exclude, or turn tracking off for your own browser.
Use data-exclude on the script tag to list paths that are never tracked. Events of any kind, including custom events and identify, are dropped in the browser while the current path matches.
<script defer data-site="SITE_ID" data-exclude="/admin/*,/preview,/account/*" src="https://api.productlense.app/a.js"></script>Pattern rules
- A comma-separated list of path patterns; spaces around commas are ignored.
*is the only wildcard and matches any characters, including/.- Each pattern must match the whole path, from the leading
/./admindoes not match/admin/users; use/admin*or/admin/*. - The query string and hash are not part of the path.
| Pattern | Matches | Does not match |
|---|---|---|
/admin/* | /admin/users, /admin/users/42 | /admin |
/admin* | /admin, /admin/users, /administrator | /blog/admin |
/preview | /preview | /preview/1 |
*/edit | /posts/7/edit | /posts/7/edit/raw |
Exclude your own visits
Open your site once with ?pl_ignore=1 and the script stops sending from that browser, or use the switch in Settings → Exclusions, which does the same. See Exclude your own visits.
For a page you control in code, window.__pl_disable = true set before the script runs sends nothing from that page. The script also sends nothing on localhost (unless data-dev="true") and nothing from automated browsers that set navigator.webdriver.
Exclude a whole hostname
Events are accepted only from the hostnames set on the site. Staging hosts that are not listed are rejected by the server, so you can leave the script on staging without polluting your numbers.
