Analytics

What INBIO measures, how uniques work, and how bots are handled.

Updated View as Markdown

Analytics answers “how did my links perform” over time; the Events page shows individual clicks as they happen.

What’s measured

For every link and any date range (plan permitting):

  • Clicks — human clicks over time, by day and by hour
  • Unique visitors — an estimate, see below
  • Countries — where clicks come from
  • Devices, browsers, operating systems
  • Referrers — which sites sent the traffic (or “direct”)
  • UTM parameters — source / medium / campaign / term / content breakdowns
  • Bot clicks — counted separately, never mixed into your numbers

How unique visitors work

INBIO never stores raw IP addresses, so uniques are a privacy-conscious estimate: within a 24-hour window, clicks from the same network neighborhood and browser family count once. Two limitations to know:

  • Several people behind one office/home network with the same browser can count as one visitor.
  • The same person on Wi-Fi and cellular counts twice.

Treat uniques as a consistent trend line, not a headcount.

Bots

Search engine crawlers, social and messenger link-preview bots (Facebook, Twitter/X, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram…), and monitoring tools are detected and excluded from clicks, uniques, and your plan’s tracked-click quota. They appear only in the separate “bot clicks” number.

Aggregated statistics are kept; raw per-click records are pruned on a schedule (90 days by default) regardless of plan — see Privacy.
