Sites
Sites are the domains SleekTrack collects data for. You can track the WordPress install that runs SleekTrack, any number of external sites, or both.
The Sites screen
Sites shows every tracked site as a card with its visitor-day trend and its visitors over the last 30 days, plus its revenue when it recorded any. Sites in a group are listed under the group’s name, with the group’s visitors over the last 30 days beside it; the rest are listed under Ungrouped. Click a card to open that site’s dashboard, or a group’s name to open the group’s dashboard. With more than one site, All sites opens a dashboard that rolls up every tracked site. Before the first site exists the screen says so, with Create site.
This site
When SleekTrack is activated on a single site, it registers that install as its own tracked site and adds the tracking code to its pages automatically, so there is no snippet to paste. If the install is not tracked, for example after you deleted it, Create site offers Track this site to add it back the same way.
The tracking code is not added for logged-in users whose role is turned on in Excluded roles in the collection settings.
Adding a site
- Open Sites and click Create site
- Enter the Domain, for example
example.com, an optional Name and an optional Group - Click Create site; the site’s Snippet section opens. Copy the snippet
- Paste the snippet into the
<head>of the site you want to track - Purge the site’s page and CDN caches, open its dashboard and click Check installation
The domain is normalised: the protocol, any path or port, and a leading
www. are removed. It must be a public domain name with a top-level domain,
and each domain can be added only once. Snippet
explains the snippet and the installation check.
Groups
Groups collect sites, for example per client. Choose New group… in the Group field when you create a site or edit its settings and name the new group; it is created when you save.
A group’s dashboard rolls up its sites, with an extra Sites card that breaks the totals down by site; click a site there to filter the dashboard to it. Beside the dashboard, a group’s navigation holds Settings, where you rename the group, give it a colour, or delete it with Delete group, and Email reports, which sets its email report. Deleting a group asks first; it keeps its sites and their data, and they become ungrouped.
Site settings
Beside a site’s Dashboard, its navigation holds five sections: Settings,
Sharing, Snippet, Email reports and Import. Roles that only view Track see the
dashboard alone. A link to a section opens it directly, such as
#/track/site/12/snippet.
Settings
- Name and Domain, which can be changed at any time
- Group, the group the site belongs to
- Collect analytics: a site that does not collect keeps the data it has
- Combine subdomains: traffic from subdomains that are not tracked as sites of their own counts as part of this site. A subdomain added as a site of its own keeps its traffic separate, and records none while that site does not collect
- Record heatmaps: records where visitors click on each page, for the heatmaps of the Top pages card. Off until turned on; see Privacy
- Webhook URL and Webhook secret: see Goal webhooks. A URL needs a secret. A saved secret stays masked; Replace enters a new one and Remove deletes it after asking
- Delete site removes the site with all of its events, daily totals, goals, funnels, annotations and share links, after asking. This cannot be undone
Discard drops the changes you have not saved; Save saves them.
Import
Import daily history takes a CSV file with date and visitors columns,
such as a Plausible or Fathom export, and imports it into the site’s daily
trends. A pageviews column and a visits column are imported when the file
has them; otherwise pageviews and visits default to the visitor count. Dates
use the YYYY-MM-DD format, only days before today are imported, and a file
can hold up to 5,000 days. Importing a day again replaces its imported totals.
Imported days appear in the charts, the totals and the Sites screen. They have no pages, sources or other breakdowns, because the file holds only daily totals.
Sharing
Creates and revokes share links to the site’s dashboard. See Share links.
Snippet
Shows the site’s tracking snippet, ready to copy. For the install that tracks itself, the section notes that Track adds the snippet for you and shows it for reference only.
Email reports
Sets the site’s email report and visitor spike alert.
Data retention and daily totals
SleekTrack keeps raw events for the retention window set in the collection settings, 365 days by default. Daily totals are kept beside them, so pruning old events does not erase the trends: the charts and totals of older days still show, but their breakdowns are gone.
