  • timeonsite

    Timeonsitetracker.js - Modern & accurate "Time on site" tracking for web and mobile browsers

  • timeonsite_analytics

    Advanced querying of timeonpage and timeonsite metrics and analytics for timeonsitetracker.js

    • Following are the list of items we intend to do with this library, it proves all these by default: * track browser tab presence only (when user is off tab, disable tracking automatically) * clear separation of anonymous/authenticated users * high levels of transparency & accuracy of tracked data * blacklisting pages that we don't want to track in our website * Provides DD-HH-MM-SS format of tracked time-on-site in API itself (no need to convert seconds to user-friendly format) * subdomain based tracking (to have separate user sessions & its time on site tracking for sub-domains for clear separation) - I don't think this feature is present in all analytics provider including GA/Matomo * disable tracking when minimizing browser window to enhance time-on-site accuracy * track specific activity like learning, watching video, designing content, app designing with GUI tools with Tos.startActivity() & Tos.enActivity() APIs (this uses same level of accuracy lust like for time on site accuracy) * provides both near real-time capture with JS callback option(send tracked data immediately to DB without saving in any browser storage) or request object (store in local storage and send it on next page load) * Perform massive analytics with timeonsite_analytics free, in-built library on tracked data * provides both PHP/NodeJS free backend server code https://github.com/saleemkce/visual to store data and visualize through dashboard & reporting tools. * Very light-weight library to keep the page load much less minimal
