DataLook

Install DataLook on nginx — the plain script tag, or the first-party proxy that beats ad blockers. Both on one page.

Paste one tag into the <head> of your site. No build step, no package.

Add the script to your <head>

Drop it in as the first script in <head>, before any analytics-blocking library.

<script defer src="https://cdn.datalook.app/s.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Deploy and visit your site

Open your site in a fresh tab. Your first pageview shows up in the dashboard within a few seconds.

The proxy install serves both s.js and the collector from your own domain, so ad blockers — which match on domain, not path — can't see us. You rewrite one innocuous path prefix to our CDN; the script figures out the rest.

A location block proxies the prefix. The trailing slashes strip it.

Add a location block

nginx.conf

location /_axis/ {    proxy_pass https://cdn.datalook.app/;    proxy_set_header Host cdn.datalook.app;    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;    proxy_ssl_server_name on;}

Point the script at the prefix

<script defer src="/_axis/s.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Heads up

The trailing slash on both the location and proxy_pass is what strips the prefix before forwarding.
