Use Cases
- • Staticbot's managed reverse proxy routes traffic through our infrastructure. We handle SSL certificates, routing, and maintenance automatically.
- • Case study: A reverse proxy helps you capture more complete usage data. Ad blockers maintain lists of known analytics domains and block requests to them. A reverse proxy bypasses this by routing events through your own domain, which ad blockers haven't cataloged. This typically increases event capture by 10-30% depending on your user base.
- • A reverse proxy sends events to analytics platforms through your own subdomain (like e.yourdomain.com) instead of directly to the platform's domain.
- • You don't need a reverse proxy to start using analytics platforms. We recommend setting one up before going to production for more reliable data capture.
