  • IP addresses of referred users & their geolocation
  • Types of referring traffic: organic, bots, referral, etc.
  • Human-readable referrers (ex. Google, Facebook, etc.)
  • Referred destination URLs & top landing pages from referrers
  • Toplists of referrers, types of referrers, popular landing pages & more
  • Helpful recommendations to block known malicious referrers

Automated Google Analytics Integration

Automatically track Google Analytics campaign data via automated URLs from referring sources — no need to manually generate campaign URLs!

Here’s how it works:

  1. User visits the site from a referring URL like Google
  2. It retrieves & parses the referrers info
  3. Smart redirect with UTM parameters added (i.e. utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign)

When cookies are enabled, last known UTM values and referrer info is stored and can be accessed for advanced reporting, conversion tracking, etc.
