Tracker

Tracker

All of Visage's data collection happens through a tiny, self-hosted JavaScript snippet. Your hosted instance serves the script directly, so there are no third-party domains, CDNs or external requests involved.

The script is minified and weighs in at roughly a kilobyte and a half on the wire.

Collection

The following information gets collected from your websites' visitors:

  • the current URL
  • the referrer URL (if present)
  • the user agent
  • the screen and viewport dimensions
  • the preferred language/region
  • the country and city (derived from the IP address if geolocation extraction is enabled)
  • the amount of time spent on each page

Bot traffic

Visage employs simple and lightweight bot-detection mechanics, based on a mix of common headless user agent patterns and client-side heuristics.

Any detected bot traffic gets stored separately, so it doesn't inflate your stats.
