Site settings

Everything about a site that is not the script tag lives here.

General

Name is what the site is called in Lynq. Hostnames are the hosts whose pageviews count as this site, one per line; add a staging or a second domain here, and www. is never needed. Timezone is the one every range, chart bucket and “today” uses.

Tracking

The snippet, ready to copy, with switches that add data-vitals, data-outbound and data-auto-events to it. Below it, what the collector saw in the last 24 hours, including anything it rejected and why; this is where to look when a number seems off.

Two switches change what is stored:

• Store page titles keeps each page’s <title> alongside its path. Off by default, because titles sometimes contain a user’s name.
• Store user ids keeps the raw id passed to identify() for 90 days, so you can look a user up. Off by default; the hashed id is always stored and is what the reports use.

Uptime

One switch, Uptime checks, off by default. On, Lynq fetches the site’s URL from General, keeps 90 days of results and shows them at the top of Performance; see Health. Off, the results already recorded stay until they age out.

Exclusions

IP addresses (single addresses or CIDR ranges) and paths whose visits are never recorded. Add your office and your own home address so your visits do not count, and paths such as /admin/* that are not the product. Excluded traffic is dropped at the collector, not hidden afterwards, so it never exists in the data.

Goals and the KPI

Which goal is the site’s KPI. Goals themselves are made on the Goals screen; see Goals and the KPI.

Data

Retention is how long events are kept, 24 months by default; older events are removed. Breakpoints are the viewport widths the Devices histogram uses as column edges, so it matches your CSS. Delete site removes the site and every event it has; there is no undo, and you type the hostname to confirm.

Notes

Every note on the site, newest first, with when it marks and who wrote it: your email, or the name of the API key a pipeline used. Add, edit and delete here or from the Overview chart. See Notes on charts.

API keys

Keys for anything that is not a browser: a server sending events, a deploy pipeline writing a note, an agent reading your numbers. See API keys.
