First of all, thank you for a great, fast and reliable tool 👏

I’m curious if there’s a way to filter out sessions with only 0 seconds. Basically it’s for removing bots and crawlers from my analysis.

Thank you in advance

Hey Tom,

Thank you for the suggestion 🙂

I think I have this feature request somewhere on our list already. Since we’re working on a new core implementation (the part that collects data and generates the reports), it might take a while before we can look into it. You can follow development here if you’re interested:

We filter bots and crawlers very effectively. Unless there is an attack going on (like on our website currently) that’s specifically designed to get around ad blockers (some AI tools make this easier, which is quite a hassle to deal with). Removing bounced visitors from your data might not be the best solution.

However, you can remove them already if you inverse the entry and exit page filters. Here is an example:

Looking forward to the new features 👏

Clever with the entry/exit page filter. That will work for now, thank you!
