The analytics display two different metrics: <code>Visits</code> and <code>Uniques</code>.</p><p><code>Traffic</code> is any click or scan and is equivalent to a (non-unique) visit on the analytics page. <code>Visits</code> are repeated visits or clicks, whereas <code>Uniques</code> are unique clicks or visits.</p><p>We retain analytics for 180 days, whereas the traffic count is perpetually incremented.</p><h3 id="why-some-clicks-may-not-be-reported">Why some clicks may not be reported</h3><p>We intentionally cache every link for 90 seconds to ensure performance and accuracy. If some of your clicks are not incrementing the click count as expected, it's usually because the link is cached in your browser.</p><h2 id="managing-analytics">Managing analytics</h2><p>Analytics can be segmented in many ways to allow you to optimise every digital initiative.
