Learn where your traffic comes from and how visitors find your site.

The activity log in Squarespace analytics is a searchable list of every time a visitor accessed a URL (a page or post) on your site in the past seven days.

Open the activity log

What information is in the activity log?

Each row in the table is a page visit. The activity log shows the 50 most recent visits from the last seven days. Scroll to the bottom and click Load more to find the next 50. If you access your site using your custom domain, we’ll record that visit in your activity log.

The Page visited column identifies pages by their page title. If you change a page's title, the activity log continues to show the old page title for up to seven days after the change.

Each entry includes details that are helpful for identifying traffic patterns, and understanding how visitors in specific locations find your site:

• Browser versions
• Date and time visited
• Geographic location (approximate based on the visitor’s IP address)
• IP address
• Operating system
• Referrer

Filter the activity log

Click the search (magnifying glass) icon to filter the log’s information. To get accurate results, format your search terms exactly as they appear in your activity log. This includes capitalization, spacing, and punctuation for page or blog post titles.

You can filter by:

• Visitor IP address - shown in the Visitor IP address column
• Page visited - The page or post title accessed, shown in the Page visited column
• Referrer - The URL the visitor was on before arriving at your site, if available. When filtering by referrer, ensure you include the forward slash at the end of the URL. For example, instead of www.pinterest.com, enter www.pinterest.com/.

What are the limitations of the activity log?

• The activity log doesn’t track login or editing activity.
• A browser’s privacy settings could prevent the activity log from capturing every detail about the visitor.
• It's not possible to block specific IP addresses from your site.

Can I disable the activity log?

Some countries have privacy laws about individuals’ data, including data that websites collect from visitors. This may include the information which displays in the activity log.

Disabling the activity log removes all data from the panel. To re-enable the activity log, switch the toggle on.

To disable the activity log:

1. Open the Cookies & Data Privacy panel.
2. Scroll down, and switch the Activity Log toggle off.
