Opentracker.net tracks every (and we mean EVERY) page in which you put the Javascript code.

You may only wish to track important pages such as those which contain your site’s content.

You can also track your navigation, frames, mail-forms, e-shops, etc., simply paste the Javascript code into every page you wish to appear in your statistics.

Opentracker supports the tracking of secure, ssl, http, shopping-cart and login-protected pages.

In order to track secure pages and avoid a pop-up a certificate warning there is one simple step necessary:

change the “http” in your website tracking javascript to “https”. The addition of an “s” will redirect your signals to a secure environment.

For example:

<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML START -->
<script src="http://script.opentracker.net/?site=example.com"></script>
<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML END -->

becomes:

<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML START -->
<script src="https://script.opentracker.net/?site=example.com"></script>
<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML END -->

Please note that the only change is the addition of an “s”.

Please note that if you have secure and unsecure pages in your site, you can use the following updated version of the script throughout your entire site.

<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML START -->
<script src="//script.opentracker.net/?site=example.com"></script>
<!-- OPENTRACKER HTML END -->
