Don’t count your own visits

Stop your own visits from counting on a site, still without a cookie and without changing the script.

Getting started

A real quietstats screen, taken with a throwaway test account that was deleted afterwards.

What it does

A switch on each site’s Manage page. While it’s on, your visits from the browser you use for quietstats aren’t counted.

Why it matters

On a small site, your own checking can be a big share of the numbers.

How to use it

  1. Open Sites → ⚙ Manage for the site.
  2. In Your own visits, press Don’t count my visits.
  3. Open your quietstats dashboard once a day before browsing your site: that is when quietstats learns today’s code for your browser.

How it works

How Don’t count my visits works, without a cookie1. Manage site → Your own visits: switch it on. 2. Each time you open your dashboard, quietstats works out today’s visitor code for your browser and network. 3. That code is kept until the next UTC midnight. 4. The collector drops any visit with that code on that site. (otherwise: Your visits: not counted) 5. Nothing is stored on your device or added to the script.1Manage site → Your own visits:switch it on.2Each time you open yourdashboard, quietstats worksout today’s visitor code foryour browser and network.3That code is kept until thenext UTC midnight.4The collector drops any visitwith that code on that site.Your visits: notcounted5Nothing is stored on yourdevice or added to the script.
From the own-visits code. Visits made before your first dashboard visit of the day still count.

Questions

Why did a visit of mine still count?

Visits made before your first dashboard visit of the day still count, because quietstats only learns the day’s code when you open the dashboard. Someone with the identical browser on the same network shares that code, so their visits would be skipped too.

Does it work with the own-domain script?

Yes. The collector uses the same daily code either way.
