DNS Redirect

Viewing redirect analytics

NerdTools tracks how many times each of your redirects is accessed.

Available metrics

  • Total hits — All-time count of redirect accesses
  • Monthly hits — Hits for the current month
  • Daily breakdown — Traffic over the last 14 days
  • Last hit — When the redirect was most recently accessed

Viewing analytics

Open your redirect in the dashboard to see its statistics. The hit count updates in near real-time as traffic flows through your redirect.

What counts as a hit

Each time someone visits your redirected domain and gets forwarded to the destination, it counts as one hit. This includes:

  • Direct browser visits
  • Clicks from links
  • Bot and crawler traffic

Note on accuracy

Analytics provide a good estimate of traffic but may not capture every single request due to end-user caching.
