Exclude your own visits

There are two ways to block your visits from showing up in your analytics with Fathom.

1. Exclude your IP address (or a block of IP addresses) in site firewall settings.
2. Run a function in your browser console.

How to exclude yourself via your browser console

Visit a page on your website thats loading our script. Then, open your console and run the following:

Note: We store the option you've selected in your browser's local storage, as the data stored in there doesn't have an expiration date and will persist even if you close the browser or reset/shutdown your PC. You can clear the data stored in local storage by clearing your browser's cache.

fathom.blockTrackingForMe();

If you wish to turn this off later, use:

fathom.enableTrackingForMe();
