We’ve collected the most common things people want to know about VisitRoute. If you’re wondering about something else, feel free to reach out.
How does VisitRoute track user interactions?
VisitRoute only tracks what you explicitly mark using data-track attributes or JavaScript calls. Nothing is captured by default — you stay in full control.
Do I need a plugin or SDK?
No SDKs. No bloated installs. Just drop in a lightweight script tag.
We also offer optional plugins for platforms like WordPress and Shopify to make setup even easier.
Is VisitRoute GDPR-compliant and cookie-free?
Yes. VisitRoute is self-hosted and does not store any tracking data. No cookies, no personal info, no fingerprinting — 100% privacy-first.
What events can I track?
You can track a wide range of interactions from day one:
- Page load
- Clicks
- Hovers
- Scroll depth
- Form input & submit
- Custom JavaScript events
And more is coming soon.
Will it slow down my website?
Nope. The script is minimal and highly optimized.
All API calls are asynchronous and run client-side — nothing blocks or delays your content.
Can I self-host VisitRoute?
Yes! In fact, VisitRoute will launch as a self-hosted version first.
A fully managed, hosted option is coming later for those who prefer a plug-and-play solution.
When will VisitRoute be available?
VisitRoute is in the preview stage, refining features and workflows before the public release. Join the waitlist to be among the first to try it and help shape the final product.
What will VisitRoute cost?
VisitRoute will be free for non-commercial use under our community license.
Commercial use requires a paid license, with pricing based on usage and support needs.
The self-hosted version for non-commercial projects will remain free, while hosted plans for commercial use will follow a usage-based model.
What license does VisitRoute use?
VisitRoute is source-available and released under the VisitRoute Sustainable Use License (VSUL).
This means:
- Free to use, modify, and self-host for non-commercial projects, personal use, education, and internal tools.
- Commercial use — including offering VisitRoute as a paid service or using it in a revenue-generating product — requires a commercial license.
- Contact us for licensing inquiries: support@visitroute.com
Is VisitRoute open source?
Not in the traditional sense. VisitRoute is source-available, meaning you can view, modify, and self-host the code, but commercial use is restricted without a license.
We use this model to keep VisitRoute sustainable while still giving developers full transparency and control.
