Prevent tracking my own pageviews

Ignore IPs

There is a ‘Ignore IPs’ settings in your site’s settings (Settings → Tracking). All requests from any IP address added here will be ignored.

JavaScript

Add #toggle-goatcounter to your site’s URL to block your browser; for example:

https://example.com#toggle-goatcounter

If you filled in the domain in your settings then there should be a link there. If you edit it in your URL bar you may have to reload the page with F5 for it to work (you should get a popup).

Skip loading staging/beta sites

You can check location.host if you want to load GoatCounter only on production.com and not staging.com or development.com; for example:

<script>
    // Only load on production environment.
    if (window.location.host !== 'production.com')
        window.goatcounter = {no_onload: true}
</script>
<script data-goatcounter="https://s.diduthink.com/count"
        async src="//s.diduthink.com/count.js"></script>

Request from localhost and the most common private networks are already ignored unless you add allow_local.
