Setup Methods

Proxied Sites (Automatic)

Dashboard → Web Analytics → Add site → Select hostname → Done

Injection Option	Description
Enable	Auto-inject for all visitors (default)
Enable, excluding EU	No injection for EU (GDPR)
Enable with manual snippet	You add beacon manually
Disable	Pause tracking

CSP required:

script-src https://static.cloudflareinsights.com https://cloudflareinsights.com;

Non-Proxied Sites (Manual)

Dashboard → Web Analytics → Add site → Enter hostname → Copy snippet

<script defer src='https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js' 
        data-cf-beacon='{"token": "YOUR_TOKEN", "spa": true}'></script>

Limits: 10 non-proxied sites per account

SPA Mode

Enable spa: true for: React Router, Next.js, Vue Router, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Angular

Keep spa: false for: Traditional multi-page apps, static sites, WordPress

Hash routing (#/path) NOT supported - use History API routing.

Token Management

• Found in: Dashboard → Web Analytics → Manage site
• Not secrets - domain-locked, safe to expose in HTML
• Each site gets unique token

Environment Config

// Only load in production
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  // Load beacon
}

Or use environment-specific tokens via env vars.

Verify Installation

1. DevTools Network → filter cloudflareinsights → see beacon.min.js + data request
2. No CSP/CORS errors in console
3. Dashboard shows pageviews after 5-10 min delay

Rules (Plan-dependent)

Configure in dashboard for: - Sample rate - reduce collection % for high-traffic - Path-based - different behavior per route - Host-based - separate tracking per domain

Data Retention

• 6 months rolling window
• 1-hour bucket granularity
• No raw export, dashboard only
