File downloads tracking

File downloads tracking is essential for many site owners and Histat helps you automate this process. Histat can capture a file download event each time a link is clicked and that link contains a file extension. All the most common file extensions are tracked by default but you can also specify a custom list of file types to track. With our "File downloads" tracking you can:

  • See which files are clicked the most
  • See on which of your pages the particular file gets the clicks
  • Filter the dashboard by a file URL to see what type of visitors click the most (referral source, entry page, location, device, browser, OS)
  • Group your file downloads by any domain name or keyword
  • File downloads is an optional enhanced measurement that's not included in our default script. This is because we want to keep the default script as simple and lightweight as possible. If you want to track file downloads.
