Reduce usage

Keep analytics useful by excluding low-value traffic and avoiding unnecessary events.

If event volume is high, cut noise with visit filters so unwanted hits never count toward quotas. Kobbe also filters bots automatically before events are stored—open Bots in the site sidebar to see what was kept out of your stats.

Start with low-value traffic

Common candidates:

  • Internal dashboards such as /app/*.
  • Admin tools such as /admin/*.
  • Preview, staging, or QA hostnames.
  • Your own browser with localStorage.kobbe_ignore = "true".
  • Countries you do not serve, when the traffic is clearly not useful.

For example, a SaaS might care most about marketing pages, signup, checkout, and onboarding. Logged-in app traffic can be noisy if product analytics already live somewhere else.

Do not exclude conversion paths

Be careful with pages that explain whether your marketing works:

  • Signup, checkout, payment success, and onboarding pages.
  • Landing pages used in campaigns.
  • Funnel steps you measure in Kobbe.
  • Pages where custom events fire, such as Signup completed or Checkout started.

If you exclude a conversion page or event, Kobbe cannot include it in dashboards or funnels.

Watch optional tracking features

Optional features can increase event volume:

These are useful when configured intentionally. Keep event names and marked sections focused on decisions you actually make.

Use exclusions

Use Filter your visits to configure:

  • Path rules.
  • Hostname rules.
  • Country rules.
  • IP rules.
  • Browser-level ignore for your own device.

Visit filters apply before events are stored or counted toward quotas.
