Before using LinkTracker for the first time, you need to configure it in Options.
We advise you to return regularly to these options to refine the tracking of clicks on your website in order to exclude or not certain sources, domains, IPs, …
To manage the pages and actions you wish to track, go to Options -> Tracking -> General

I want to track the following links/actions – decide which items you want to track:
- Internal: links within your site (from your site to your site)
- External: outbound links for affiliation, for example
- Inbound: incoming links to your site
- 404: all links with a 404 error (due to a bad redirect, an unpublished post or article, etc.).
- Error: all other errors
- Redirection: any redirections you may have configured on your site (via a module, htaccess, etc.).
- Refresh: page refreshment
- Direct access: inbound links that do not come from a search engine or referral site.
- IP Exclude: to isolate the IPs you wish to exclude
I want to use an intermediate page to redirect external links: if you want to track outgoing links, you must check yes to this option. You can configure how this page is displayed in the “External links redirection page” tab.
I want to use javascript to track external links : if you don’t want to redirect the url for your external links, activate this option. ATTENTION: if you have an external link to improve the SEO of the destination URL, activate the option!
I want to save: you can select the information you want to save each time you follow a link. Please note, depending on what you select, you will need to make a specific statement in your privacy policy in order to comply with RGPD regulations :
- IP
- User Agent: user configuration
- Method: post, get, put, delete, … ($_SERVER REQUEST_METHOD)
- Start of request – date ($_SERVER REQUEST_TIME)
- Remote host ($_SERVER REMOTE_HOST)
- Remote user if authenticated ( $_SERVER REMOTE_USER)
- Uri: all parameters passed in the request ($_SERVER REQUEST_URI)
- Session: all session data ($_SESSION)
- Cookie: server cookie ($_COOKIE)
