Roadmap & changelog
Here’s what the team is up to.
Latest update
Feb 2024
Path cleaning added to web analytics
The web analytics beta continues to improve with new features such as path cleaning rules, which alias URLs together to make results more digestible.
If you're in the beta you can customize your path cleaning rules within your product analytics settings. Each rule is composed of an alias and a regex pattern, so that any URL which matches the pattern is replaced with the alias.
Our experience is that path cleaning is incredibly useful for reducing complex common URLs in web analytics, but try the beta for yourself and let us know what you think!
