How to Exclude Your Own Visits in Umami

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Disable tracking in your browser

   Copy steps
   1. Open your website and open DevTools > Console
   2. Run localStorage.setItem('umami.disabled', 1)
   3. Repeat on every site and in every browser/device you use
   4. To undo, run localStorage.removeItem('umami.disabled')
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Ignore IP addresses (self-hosted)

   Copy steps
   1. Set IGNORE_IP to a comma-separated list of IPs or CIDR ranges
   2. Restart Umami
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Stop tracking localhost and staging

   Copy steps
   1. Add data-domains="example.com,www.example.com" to the production script tag
   2. Use a separate website ID with data-tag for development if you want dev data
   Did this fix it? Yes No

Symptoms

Your own testing and browsing inflate visitor counts, or localhost and staging visits appear in production stats.

Why it happens

• Umami has no dashboard toggle to ignore yourself
• The exclusion is per browser and per site
• No data-domains restriction, so dev and staging hosts are tracked
