Frequently Asked Questions

  • Toggle FAQ
    What is a referrer?

    A referrer is a site that sent a visitor to your website. For instance, if a visitor clicks a link on Facebook that takes them to your website, then Facebook is considered the referrer.

  • Toggle FAQ
    Is the referrer page included or just the domain?

    Unfortunately, modern browsers have removed the referrer page from the data they share. Independent Analytics can tell you the website each visitor came from but not the page they came from.

  • Toggle FAQ
    What is a direct visit?

    If a visitor types your website’s address into their browser, there is no referrer, so it is a direct visit. Sometimes, due to privacy settings, referrer data is removed from the browser, and these types of visits also get grouped into direct traffic.
