Ad Blockers

Some visitors use content blockers that block analytics scripts by pattern, domain name, or request path. As a result, reported traffic may be lower than actual traffic.

  1. Host liwan on your site’s domain. Use a subdomain like a.example.com, or serve it under a path like https://example.com/liwan so tracker requests use the same origin as your site. For a path deployment, set base_url to that full URL and forward the path without stripping the prefix. See the reverse proxy guide for an HTTPS setup.

  2. If using a subdomain, choose a neutral name such as a.example.com or liwan.example.com. Names like analytics.example.com may match domain-based blocklists, even when hosted under your own site.

  3. Test with a blocker enabled. Reload your site with the browser’s Network tab open and look for script.js and /api/event. A blocked script cannot send pageviews, while a blocked event request prevents the server from receiving them. Some visitors will still be uncounted because blockers can target request paths as well as domains.
