Apply a referrer filter

Click a Referrers or AI row to filter the Overview. The source is a hostname, not the full referring page URL. A missing referrer can result from browser policies or a direct visit; Direct does not identify one particular acquisition method.

Limits

Classification depends on the recorded values. Traffic from an AI service that sends no recognizable referrer will not be identified as AI. Bot handling is limited and does not establish that every accepted visitor is human.

For deliberate link tagging, use campaigns. Read the AI referral guide for interpretation.
