Frequently Asked Questions about using TWIPLA on Wix (FAQ)

General

1. How do I install TWIPLA on my Wix website?

TWIPLA is a 3rd party app on Wix Market, and it can be easily added to your Wix website in 2 ways. You can find detailed information on how to install TWIPLA on your Wix website in our install guide here.

2. What is the difference between the widget app and the dashboard app?

You can find us in the App Market and in the Editor Apps. No matter how you decide to install the app, both options work harmoniously together: the widget is getting the numbers from the statistics the dashboard app is displaying.

The stat-counter is a small widget that can be added from your Editor and published on your live website so it can be visible to your visitors. There are several options from which you can choose to be public, or you can also keep it on hidden mode, only visible to you. Installing the widget will automatically add the dashboard app, so you can easily manage the stats directly from your Dashboard.

The dashboard app is the main app, having the advanced dashboard and other significant modules within it, where you can analyze the data in a more detailed way. It gets installed in conjunction with the widget installation (if you choose to install the widget), or it can be solely installed, if you do not want to add anything to your Editor, nor your live website.

You can find detailed information on how to install TWIPLA on your Wix website in our install guide here.

3. What to include in my Privacy Policy?

We created a template in order to assist our customers to be compliant with data protection laws and to make all the personal data information easy to understand and control. Check this page out for more details.

4. When using TWIPLA, do I need to notify the visitors and display a popup about cookies? 

We are happy to let you know, that TWIPLA is no longer using cookies to track visitors!

Tracking without cookies is possible. It respects privacy and ensures that you get accurate data. Users don’t need to opt-in when cookieless tracking is used and you don’t need to worry about any consent banners for this. Cookieless tracking means no privacy regulation related headache anymore.

In order to be GDPR compliant you have to alert your website visitors about cookies that are placed by your website (not applicable for TWIPLA anymore) 

If your website is created using Wix, you can have a look at what to add to your Privacy Policy related to TWIPLA.

Please note that data protection legislation may vary locally and may change from time to time. Hence, this might be too general or become insufficient for your country/region/state.

We highly recommend you to consult a qualified lawyer or law firm if you are unsure about the sufficiency of the Privacy Policy note regarding analytics with regard to your jurisdiction or if have additional questions. Also, do not forget that a legally watertight privacy policy can only be created by legal professionals and it can be tailored for each business and its jurisdiction.

5. Can I see visits before the date I installed the app?

Unfortunately, you can only pull website traffic reports / stats from the date you have installed the TWIPLA app to present. For almost every stat available in TWIPLA, there's a date picker for querying the period. 

Note that we are unable to track the visits for the period that our app was not yet present or installed on your website. There is a Data processing agreement that is signed when you install the app. We do not have access to your website's data until you accept the Terms and Conditions. We are a 3rd party app in the Wix app Market, so the app does not come automatically installed on your website.

6. How to increase the traffic on my website?

We're happy to share with you a few articles we have which may help you out in improving your website and may also help increase traffic as well. Check out the following posts:

7. How do I turn off AMP on my Wix Blog?

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) could improve the loading time of pages on mobile, but that comes with some malfunctions when it comes to tracking the traffic on them.
And all Wix blog versions use AMP now.

How does AMP work and why should I turn it off?
Once you turn on AMP, visitors using a mobile device are directed to the AMP optimized page (that displays your blog post content and images only, without loading any scripts/apps) when accessing your blog posts through a Google Search or a shared link (e.g. on Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram etc.).

You might see a drop for mobile visits in your TWIPLA stats after enabling the AMP. This does not mean that you are receiving less traffic on mobile, but simply that TWIPLA is unable to track it.

Note: Any app that sits on a page that would get served over AMP would have this issue.

If you want to get real insights about your blog traffic, turning off this feature is the most appropriate solution.

Here's how to turn off AMP:

  1. Open the Blog Manager.
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. Click Turn off Google AMP.

Note: To turn off this feature, you must have at least one post published on your blog.

8. How do I delete TWIPLA from my Wix website?

We are sorry to see you go!

TWIPLA can be added to your Wix website, both as

(A) a dashboard app only or
(B) as a widget (which will install the dashboard app implicitly)

No matter which option you chose to install the app, you can easily delete the app by following these steps:

  1. Go to your website's dashboard and select on Apps from the left side menu, then select Manage Apps.
  2. Search for TWIPLA app and click on the Delete/Trash icon.
  3. If the app was added as a widget within your Editor as well at some point, it will ask you to go to your Editor, please do so and patiently wait for the Editor to load completely.
  4. A pop-up will appear asking you to select a reason for deleteing the app, please choose a reason and Delete the app.
  5. Publish your website to save the changes and you are done, the app will be now completely uninstalled from your website.

Important notes 

  • If the app is not removed after following all steps, make sure you clear the cache memory of your browser and try this process again.
  • If you purchased a subscription for the app and you want to delete it, make sure to cancel the subscription as well.
  • If you only wish to hide the stat-counter widget from being visible on your live website, and not to delete it, check out this topic.

Premium Plans & Billing

If you upgraded your Wix account, you might’ve noticed that the apps that come with your Wix subscription are already mentioned among the package benefits.

If you can see TWIPLA among them, all you have to do is to redeem your free premium app by installing the TWIPLA app. 

TWIPLA can be easily added to your Wix website as a dashboard app. Here are the steps on how to install the app.

 

Already added the app to your website?

If your Wix Premium Plan comes with a free TWIPLA plan upgrade, you can apply it to any website in your Wix account where you got the promotion, provided this will be the first time that you will add our app to your selected website. If our app has been previously installed on your website, it will no longer be eligible for the free upgrade.

Promotion Terms and Conditions

  • This promotion is not available for all Wix Premium Plans. Hence, if TWIPLA is not listed in your Wix Premium Pack benefits, you need to purchase the app when you upgrade it.
  • The promotion can be claimed in the first 60 days of being a Wix premium user. 
  • This promotion can be used once only and lets you upgrade the app for free for a period of 1 year. The app purchase page displays may display the monthly pricing, but you will receive a full year for free.
  • The app can be upgraded for free only when it's initial purchase of the app.
  • The promotion is provided per account. You may use it on any website in your account (it does not have to be the website you just upgraded).
  • Our recommendation is to redeem the app on the desired website only if you know for sure that there will be no major changes in the near future, such as domain changing/moving to another website because the transfer of apps to another website is not allowed in Wix, therefore redemption will be in vain.
  • You will also receive an email containing the promotion details.

2. Is the free plan going to expire?

No, you can use the Free plan for an indefinite time. Nevertheless, there are some limitations for the features in the free plan, the most important ones being the 400 page visits included per month.

Check all the features higher limits for our plans by clicking on the Upgrade Now button anywhere in the app and see the list for each pack, with their related price as well.

3. What happens when the limit of the included visits in my plan has been reached?

Once you reach the limit, TWIPLA will stop tracking new visits. It will start counting again once a new month will start, or you upgrade to a higher premium plan, in which case the limit is lifted.

  • Keep in mind that for the time frame since the limit was reached, until a new month begins or you upgrade to a higher plan, your data will not be tracked at all. Hence, even if an upgrade takes place at a later time, the data from that period will be lost.
  • There are in-app notifications for when you are approaching the limit, at 50%, 75%, 90% and finally a 100% limit reached pop-up message for when the limit has been reached, so you can know when it's time for an upgrade. We recommend you to check the app's dashboard often enough, to have the chance to see these notifications.

4. What does a premium subscription offer me in addition to the free one?

By using one of our Premium versions, you can gather a lot of useful data that can be used to improve your online performance, having bigger limits to all the features. Just press the Upgrade Now button anywhere in the app and check all the available plans with their list of included features and their related price as well.

Here is our Help Center, where you can gather more information. Also, here you can watch some videos that present our application and you can get an idea of it.

5. Can I transfer my TWIPLA premium subscription from my old website?

If you created a new website, unfortunately the premium subscriptions of the 3rd party apps cannot be transferred from a Wix website to another.

We can only recommend you to Export your data and then cancel your current subscription to our app from the old website. Afterwards, select the new one, add the app again and upgrade.

​Please contact us via email to support@twipla.com or chat (via the chat bubble inside the app or on our website in bottom right corner) and provide us the URL to your website (both old and new ones) and the invoiceID (both old and new ones). Also, please mention what kind of subscription (monthly/yearly) you have on your old website, so we can issue a pro-rated refund (if it was yearly) or offer you a voucher code to use for your next purchase (if it was monthly).

  • If your subscription was yearly, we will be able to refund you for the remaining period, only after you upgrade the app on your new website.
  • Also, if you have benefited from a free year for our app, due to your Wix premium package, we can only ask for a pro-rated top-up for your new subscription with the equivalent of the remaining period of the old one, but still, after you upgrade the app on your new website.

6. Why was my subscription automatically renewed?

According to Wix: "To prevent any interruption of service, app subscriptions are set to renew automatically. You can cancel your subscription if you no longer need it."

You may cancel the Auto-renewal option a few days after you paid for the subscription, by following these steps.

7. Where can I find my TWIPLA invoice(s)?

In order to see all the invoices, go to Billing History in your Wix account to browse through all your payments and find your TWIPLA invoice(s).

8. How do I apply a promo code when I purchase TWIPLA on Wix?

We're happy to see your interest in becoming a TWIPLA Premium customer!

We know that you may want to test TWIPLA before going premium, so we offer discounts or opportunities from time to time in order to get the app at a lower price (or for free) for a limited period of time!
There are no strings attached to our offers and you can cancel your subscription at any time.
If you already got a voucher code to use within the Wix platform, here's how to apply it:

  1. Expand your feature column and select Upgrade now.
  2. Select the desired plan (Basic, Advanced or Pro) you want to purchase.
  3. Select the Monthly plan.
  4. Enter your card details, then click on Enter promo code.
  5. Place your code there and select Apply.
  6. Make sure that the discount has been applied to the final price and Submit the Purchase.
  7. Reload the TWIPLA app page to see the changes!

Note: The promo codes can only be used once.

9. How do I cancel my premium subscription?

We are sorry to see you go!

If you are sure you’d like to cancel your TWIPLA subscription, whether you’re on a monthly or yearly TWIPLA subscription, you can cancel your plan at any moment (but we would highly appreciate your feedback before, so we can improve our service and meet your standards in the future). 

Follow these steps to cancel your subscription plan.

Note: After turning off the auto-renewal, you will still be a premium customer until the end of your billing cycle (be it monthly or yearly) and once the cycle ends, your plan will be automatically downgraded to the Free plan with limited visits and features.

Feature functionality

  3. Click on Get Mobile Access to Your Data.
  4. Add your email address and click on Activate Direct Access!

2. How do I get easy access to TWIPLA using my mobile phone?

Going to TWIPLA, you first need to open a browser, enter the app's URL an it might take too much time. So, placing a desktop shortcut of the page on your screen will save your time and will be way more convenient. It will work a lot like a mobile app, but won't take your phone storage at all.

Important: In order to have access to our mobile responsive standard app, there is a Direct Access process that must be accomplished.

3. How to embed the tracking code for Session Recordings, Heatmaps, and Polls within my website?

We know how important it is to see what your customers do on your website. With Session Recordings, you will replay the full visitor experience, identify pain points, boost conversions, and optimize your website. Heatmaps are a great tool to help you understand which areas of your website are being interacted with the most. You can also get direct and real feedback from your visitors by using Polls!

If you want to install the Session Recordings, Heatmaps, and Polls features, in order to see how your visitors behave your website and/or get feedback from them, you have to follow the steps below.

Embedding the code once is enough to have them all working for your website!

  1. Go to Apps from the main left-sided menu and select TWIPLA
  2. Select the Behavior module and select either Session Recordings or Heatmaps, or go to Feedback and select Polls then click on the Install on my website button within the pop-up message that will appear
    • If you already selected Add it later or the pop-up message gets closed prematurely and there is nothing appearing when going to the Behavior module, you can always find this section again by simply going to the Settings menu within TWIPLA. You can start the process from there.
    • It is not necessary to embed the tracking code several times for each feature. Adding it once is enough to have them all working for your website.
  3. Get to know the features that are included, and follow the steps presented within the 2nd step in the pop-up message:
    1. Copy the tracking code generated by our app
    2. Go back to the Main Menu in the Wix Dashboard and select Settings
    3. Scroll down to the Advanced section and select Custom Code
    4. Click on Add Custom Code button
  4. Paste your javascript code generated by our app into the box titled Paste the code snippet hereGive the Custom Code a name (e.g. Session Recordings by TWIPLA)
  5. Go to Add Code to Pages, select All pages and from the drop-down menu select Load code once (NOTE: It is very important to set it on "Load code once" not to get the video recordings stuck at switching pages events)
  6. Select Body-end to place your code in
    1. Note: If you have a domain selector there, select the hosting domain and not the one you are redirected from.
  7. Go to Code Type tab now
  8. And select the type as Essential (so that our app can see the tracking code in the source-code, you can change the type later, once you have the recordings started). Usually this is selected by default, but if it's not, make sure you select it.
  9. Click on Apply button
  10. Get the recording started by going back to our app and click on Get Started button under the presentation video
  11. You have the ability to set up/edit the recordings rules as you please, going to Session Recordings settings icon (within the Behavior menu)
  12. You may also go to Heatmaps and get them started
  • It is not necessary to embed the tracking code several times for each feature. Adding it once is enough to have them all working for your website.
  • Please note that in order to add a custom script, you need to have a premium Wix account as well!
  • If our app can not recognize the tracking code as properly installed, though you know you have followed all the steps carefully, please contact us. This mostly happens if there is a redirect for your website depending on the browser’s set language (e.g. en.your-website.com/). Rest assured, as long as the tracking code is visible in the source code, we will manually recognize it as installed.
  • Your visitors must leave the website, in order for you to see the recordings/visitor actions within our app.
  • There are some limitations that prevent us from recording certain things on your website. Check out the next question here in the FAQ for more details. The mentioned limitations apply for heatmaps as well.
  • If the heatmap has been created incorrectly for your page(s), we recommend you to "Re-take the screenshot behind the Heatmap" manually.

4. What are the limitations of the Session Recordings feature?

Session Recordings allow you to record & play videos of what visitors did on your website!

We know how important it is to see what your customers do on the website. With Session Recordings, you will replay the full visitor experience, identify pain points, boost conversions, and optimize your website. However, there are some limitations that prevent us from recording certain things on your website, due to some technical security clauses.

Websites come in all types and, unfortunately, there are some limitations to the Session Recording feature:

  • If you have iFrames, images or SVGs being part of a deeper iFrame, you may see a Content Unavailable message at the moment, as we cannot access iframes. The third party content are on a different domain and our javascript cannot catch it. Same for the recordings created for visits by users who have AdBlockers in use on their browser.
  • If your Wix blog or website has additional pop-ups, apps or widgets installed, TWIPLA won't access that information due to security reasons, as those are third-party apps and our code is added to your website domain.
  • Parallax scrolling is best replayed via Firefox browsers.
  • Some dynamic pages may encounter issues in displaying hover elements (such as eCommerce apps within Wix).
  • Some records might not appear in your list, due to the fact that visitors have Do Not Track option enabled in their browsers. Another possibility would be the Easy Privacy option enabled within their ad-blocker/extension.

Note: If none of these exceptions (described at this point), does not apply to your visitors, they must leave the website, in order for you to see the resulted recording. It's important to note that even if your recordings show unavailable content, rest assured your visitors see the real content.

5. How do I export data for my Wix website?

You can easily export your visitors' data or visits history as .csv or .xlsx at any moment! To do so, please follow these steps:

  1. Select your website and go to the TWIPLA app
  2. From the left-side menu, select Website Settings --> Export
  3. Choose what data you want to export (Visitors / Visits)
  4. Select the time range and the file type and click on Export

Note: You can only export data for a 31 day time range!

6. How do I track my URL campaigns?

URL Campaigns or UTM-parameters are NOT set up WITHIN TWIPLA app. They are just automatically recognized by the app everytime a visitor uses a UTM-Link that you have set up and embedded elsewhere. Here you can find out more about UTM Campaigns.

What if you could divide and check your campaigne visitors by parameters like source or medium and easily see which parameters bring you the most visitors?

To find out the exact referrer (e.g. newsletter), marketing medium (organic, PPC, banner), campaign name or other information that can be tracked, simply add campaign parameters to your URL campaigns.

Please follow the steps below to do so:

  1. Go to our Campaign builder tool
  2. Add your URL and fill the form with your wished parameters (e.g. signup_button)
  3. Copy the resulted URL 
  4. Add it to your links

Done! Check our Complete guide to use URL Campaigns (examples included) to make the most of your analytics.

7. How do I track a Submit/Subscribe action?

You would like to know who have submitted a form or subscribed a newsletter to your website? Despite the fact that this cannot be simply done since we do not track click actions, that's possible though, thanks to the following workaround:

  1. Add a form on your page: From your Editor, select Add button and Contact
    Hint: 
    The form can also be a custom one. Here is how to create one and connect it to a database.
  2. Create a Thank you page (or something similar) and make it invisible to your visitors (this will allow you to have more accurate stats). You can personalize it as you please.
  3. Go back to the page where your form is, select it and click on Settings icon. Select Link to page or lightbox and choose the Thank you page. This will redirect the users to your newly created page
  4. Publish your changes
    Hint: If you want to track any other actions of a custom button, all you have to do is to repeat the 2nd step, then select the button and link it to your page.
  5. Set your Thank you page as a Conversion page.

That's it! You can now simply distinguish who is submitting/subscribing something out.

8. How do I ignore my own visits or an IP?

When your analytics display the visits from both you (or your team) and external visitors of your website, it might become difficult to determine your traffic performance. 

There are two ways to ignore your visits: from your browser or by blacklisting an IP or class of IPs.

To ignore your own visits from a browser (no matter the IP), please follow the steps:

  1. Log into your TWIPLA account and select your website
  2. Go to Website Settings --> Settings
  3. Scroll down to Ignore (Own) Visits for Tracking by IP
  4. Switch On the toggle button placed under Ignore visits from this browser?

Notes:

  • Make sure that your browser allows cookies. This option is applicable only on that specific browser.
  • This setting will be enabled until you disable it or you'll delete the browser cookies.
  • For ignoring your visits from any browser/device, follow the steps from the second option, Ignore visits by IP

 

To ignore visits from a specific IP (including yours) or a class of IPs, please follow the next steps:

If you want to stop tracking the traffic from specific IPs (even your IP), all you have to do is to go to your settings and apply the IPs that you want to ignore:

  1. Log into your TWIPLA account and select your website
  2. Go to Website Settings --> Settings
  3. Scroll down to Ignore (Own) Visits for Tracking by IP
  4. Insert the IP address (or class of IPs)
  5. Click on the Add to List button

Ignore visits from a class of IPs by using the "*" symbol at the end of the numeric label — e.g. if a class of IPs starts with 192.168.123 just add "192.168.123.*" and the entire class will be ignored.

Notes:  

  • There are two types of IPs: static IPs and dynamic IPs. Having a Static IP means your IP addresses won’t change and you will have the same IP every day if you connect to the same network. The static IPs are an option for businesses rather than residences, because it’s very useful for dedicated services such as web servers or FTP, hosting computer servers, and it makes it easier for geolocation services to accurately estimate where you are.
  • On the other hand, most people have a dynamic IP and it will change constantly. And, as you can imagine, these IPs are automatically given by your Internet Service Provider and reliable with very little work from your side (or none at all), but the geolocation might be less accurate.
  • If you do not know your IP or if it’s a static or dynamic one, just click here and you will easily see everything about your IP if you click Show me more about my IP.

Stat-counter widget functionality

1. Do I have to place the widget on all of my pages?

You can place the stat-counter widget anywhere multiple times, or on just one page of your website and it will still track your whole website.

Also, if you do not want anything added to your live website, nor your Editor, but only to track the data, just delete the widget app from your EditorPublish the changes, then go to your Dashboard this time and add the app again as a Dashboard app only. Now, check your stats at any moment, without going through your Editor anymore!

2. How do I make the widget invisible on my live website?

We’re glad to let you know that the analytics widget is visible on your website only if you make it visible!

Here is how to manage your stats visibility on the live website:
You can add your stat counter widget on your website from the editor and hide it from your visitors. By doing this, nothing gets shown on your live website and you can check all the stats from your TWIPLA Dashboard.

To hide the widget, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Editor, and select the TWIPLA widget
  2. Select the Settings button and a new menu will show up
  3. Go to Settings and select the Don't display on my website option
  4. Make sure you Publish the changes.

Note: If the widget is still visible after you chose not to display it and published it, please clear your browser's cache, refresh the page and Publish the changes again (with the Don't display on website option selected).

Also, if you do not want anything added to your live website, nor your Editor, but only to track the data, just delete the widget app from your EditorPublish the changes, then go to your Dashboard this time and add the app again as a Dashboard app only. Now, check your stats at any moment, without going through your Editor anymore!

3. Why is the widget still visible on my live website despite the fact that I chose not to be?

The fact that is still visible might be related to some caches within your browser.

  1. Try and clear the browser's cache for All time (for instance, in Chrome: chrome://settings/clearBrowserData?search=cookies).
  2. Reload the Editor's page.
  3. Select the Don't display on my website option again.
  4. Make sure you Publish the changes.

Also, if you do not want anything added to your live website, nor your Editor, but only to track the data, just delete the widget app from your EditorPublish the changes, then go to your Dashboard this time and add the app again as a Dashboard app only (see first option here). Now, check your stats at any moment, without going through your Editor anymore!

4. Will I lose the stats if the widget is moved or gets deleted?

No, you can place the widget where you please and move it from a page to another countless times.

You can also add it multiple times on the page or on different pages, or even just on one page of your website and it will still track your whole website.

The important thing is to have it added, at least once before you publish any changes on your website. That means that if the widget has been added 4 times on your website and you want to remove it from 3 of the places, you can do it, just make sure you leave one attached to the website, in order to keep it working.

If the widget gets deleted and the changes have been already published on your website, do not worry! Your stats are not lost. However, our advice is to re-add the app as soon as you notice its absence, because we are unable to track the visits for the period that our app is not present / installed on your website. By doing this, you make sure that your data is not lost for a long time range.

5. Why is my TWIPLA app often automatically deleted?

There are two scenarios that might cause the trouble:

  1. If you accidentally delete the stat-counter widget from your editor, and publish the changes, the app will be removed from your website.
  2. Some apps are simply removed from the website, when the Editor is switched to Wix ADI Editor. The apps added during the usual editing, that are not compatible with ADI (TWIPLA and other apps are not among the apps in ADI) are being erased when switching to that type of Editor.

Our advice is to re-add the app as soon as possible. This way you make sure that your data is not lost for a long time range.

Also, if you do not want anything added to your live website, nor your Editor, but only to track the data, just delete the widget appPublish the changes and add our app again as a Dashboard app only this time. Now, check your stats at any moment, without going through your Editor anymore! This way, the app won't get removed next time you use Wix ADI, the risk of removing it from the Editor by mistake being minimal as well.

Something doesn't seem to be working properly?

1. The app does not work. What to do?

We are very sorry to hear that you are having an inconvenient experience with TWIPLA. Does the application not work from your end? A white screen or a 404 error appears or it loads indefinitely? 

There might be some external factors causing difficulties in regards to this that are not related to our app and cannot cannot be resolved on our part. In order to see your app data, we'd like you to do these steps:

  1. First, make sure that your browser is not set to block the cookies.
  2. If it is, please set it on Allow all cookies, or scroll down a bit and there is an option to Add Sites that can always use cookies (if you use Chrome, but similar for Safari).
  3. Please click on Add, write https://www.wix.com/ and make sure you check Including third-party cookies on this website.

If this was not the case, please try the following:

  1. Go to your browser's settings, and Clean all the cached images and files (for all time).
  2. Turn off any running or activated adBlockers. The reason for this action is that if do you have any running add-ons or browser extensions (e.g. AdBlock, Avira, uBlock, Ads Killer, uBlock Origin, uBlock Plus, AdBlock Genesis Plus, Norton etc.), TWIPLA might not load accordingly.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Make sure you do not run AdGuard in your browser, even if disabled on this specific page, it might block it from loading.
  • Please make sure that you are not using any custom proxy connection or having some firewalls (if you are using the internet at your work/school place, for instance) try to connect your device to another internet and see how it goes.
  • If your browser in use is Safari, just make sure its version is 13.x or higher. Also, if you use Brave, make sure that you Disable the blocking Trackers & Ads option.
  • Try and open the app in a different browser. This way you make sure this is something related to the previous browser.
  • If none of the above resolutions do not work for you, do not hesitate to contact us at support@twipla.com, we'll deeper investigate the issue and get the app back on track for you.​​​​

2. Why are not all the visits being tracked by TWIPLA?

TWIPLA does everything it can do to obtain data from all the visitors coming to your website. Even so, there are sessions where visitor data cannot be collected. The app cannot track visitors who:

  • Are excluded due to the Free version limit exceeding (or premium limits if the case). Make sure you did not reach that limit.
  • Have enabled Do Not Track option in their Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Opera etc. browser (or its equivalent Ask websites not to track me named in Safari).
  • Have blocked JavaScript in their browser permissions settings.
  • Preferred to disable TWIPLA from our Opt-Out page.
  • Have their IP ignored within your TWIPLA settings.
  • Run browser extensions such as AdBlock, Avira, uBlock, Ads Killer, uBlock Origin, uBlock Plus, AdBlock Genesis Plus etc. that have EasyPrivacy option enabled (which means that loading additional tracking scripts is not allowed).

Furthermore: TWIPLA have a bot & crawler filter, so it does not collect data from most of the bots and crawlers around the web, in order to keep the stats as accurate as possible.

3. Why did TWIPLA stopped tracking visits to my website?

There might be some factors that could cause our app to stop following visits. In order to get it back on track, we'd like you to make sure that:

  • The visits limit was not reached, especially when using the Free version of the app. Upgrade to a higher pack if needed.
  • The app has not been removed from your website. The widget can be easily deleted without noticing. Make sure the app is still attached to your website.

Do not hesitate to contact our support at support@twipla.com directly if needed!

4. Why did I receive an email telling me that I had requested the permanent deletion of the app?

There are two scenarios that might cause the trouble:

  1. If you accidentally delete the stat-counter widget from your editor, and publish the changes, the app will be removed from your website.
  2. Some apps are simply removed from the website, when the Editor is switched to Wix ADI Editor. The apps added during the usual editing, that are not compatible with ADI (TWIPLA and other apps are not among the apps in ADI) are being erased when switching to that type of Editor.

Our advice is to re-add the app as soon as possible. This way you make sure that your data is not lost for a long time range.

Also, if you do not want anything added to your live website, nor your Editor, but only to track the data, just delete the widget appPublish the changes and add our app again as a Dashboard app only this time. Now, check your stats at any moment, without going through your Editor anymore! This way, the app won't get removed next time you use Wix ADI, the risk of removing it from the Editor by mistake being minimal as well.

5. Why am I not getting visit notifications on my phone anymore?

At the moment, TWIPLA only offers email reports related to your website stats, based on your settings: daily/weekly/monthly reports.

You can also opt-in to receive tailored Tips & tricks on improving your website performance and TWIPLA usage (no more than 2 emails/month) and to receive special offers from TWIPLA (no more than 1 email/month).

If you used to receive push notifications on your mobile phone any time someone visited your website, or when a visitor started a chat with you, that is most probably related to another app. Note that other apps can have a different tracking infrastructure than ours. They might send a notification every time a user is switching pages, while we track visits based on sessions (a session lasts for 3 hours) in which we list the pages and the time at which they were visited.

6. Why are my website analytics statistics different than my ad statistics?

Looking into analytics is a normal step in the process and seeing different data than in your ads stats might puzzle you.
For a comprehensive understanding of your website traffic, it is important to know about the differences between the biggest tracking platforms and how they collect data. 

There are some cases when your Google or Facebook Ads data might not match your Analytics data. Here are some of the most common reasons.

Advertising providers track clicks, whereas Analytics tools tracks sessions. There are several reasons that these metrics may differ:

  1. A customer may click your ad multiple times. When one person clicks an ad multiple times in the same session, AdWords record multiple clicks while Analytics tools recognize the separate page views as one session.
  2. A person might click on an ad, and then later, during a different session return directly to the website through a bookmark or saved link. This would register as one click in AdWords, but multiple sessions in Analytics.
  3. Someone might click on your ad and then change her mind and prevent the page from fully loading by clicking to another page or by pressing the browser Stop or Back buttons. In this case, Analytics won’t register a session, but AdWords still counts this as a click.

It is also well known that tracking platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Analytics) track visits, clicks and traffic differently. Therefore, you may see different metrics in different platforms as well:

  1. Clicks vs. Sessions: Some services (e.g., Google Ads) track every click a visitor makes, whereas other services (e.g., Google Analytics) only track one click per session.
  2. Filtering of invalid clicks: Some services filter out invalid clicks, while others show all clicks.
  3. Tracking blocked by browser extension: Some browser extensions block tracking of certain tracking services and prevent them from collecting data.

7. I already have a premium plan, why am I being asked to upgrade?

There are 2 types of Premium plans, one assigned to your Wix account/site and one for 3rd party apps.

  • If you have a TWIPLA premium plan, and you can still see the Upgrade option, it means that there are other higher plans to upgrade to if needed.
  • If you have a Wix Premium plan, you might have noticed that the apps that come with your Wix subscription are already mentioned among the package benefits. If you can see TWIPLA among them, all you have to do is to redeem your free premium app by following the steps mentioned here.

8. Why I don't have access to my statistics in the standard application?

In order to have access to your stats directly in the standard app, the process is not the same as for other types of websites when it comes to Wix websites.

If you already installed our app in your Wix Dashboard and upgraded to a premium plan, there only a few extra steps to accomplish in order to deliver the statistics directly from the Wix app into the standard one. Check the instructions here.

If you already added your website within the standard account, you can delete it from there, now that you have access to the stats directly from our Wix app.

9. How accurate is my visitors location?

Since we're an analytics app we need to respect privacy laws and policies and we can only offer an approximate location of the visitors.

In order to understand this feature into more details, here are some things to consider:

  1. Usually, an Internet Service Provider offers an approximate location of a certain IP address (e.g. city, and sometimes, neighborhood), for security reasons. Now, when we show you the location of the visitor we are also obligated by law to not show the real provided address (this is the second layer of anonymity required by law) so we also display an approximate location.
  2. If the visits are performed using mobile phones, the location is given by the internet provider's main Wi-Fi tower (which usually is not located on the same street as the visitors). 
  3. We check the locations based on the IP addresses, and each IP is registered with an approximate location by the service that assigned it. We are using this data as it is registered and updated by each internet provider and display it as it is.

Note: The location's pin moves from place to place, over a certain area, every time you refresh the map. The radius is respected by the app and it moves the pin all around in that specific area, precisely so as not to give you the impression that the visitor is coming from exactly that spot, but from that area.

11. Why are there multiple IP addresses for the same visitor?

Visitors might often use VPN connections or have dynamic IPs, but they use the same browser to surf on your website. We track visitors based on their browser in use. If they use the same browser but have different IPs, we recognize them as same visitors.

You may also see the same IP address as New visitor multiple times. If the IP is from the same router for multiple users, all of them will show up as unique visitors, since they are new people using different devices and implicitly different browsers, but have the same IP. This might happen in offices or wherever there are more people using the same Wifi router. 

In order to see the entire history of an IP, just click the IP itself and then "See History".

12. Why is there no reference for some of the sessions?

Note that not all the websites are sharing their referrer. We highly recommend you to Check If Referrer-Policy Is Enabled, for those websites you are expecting a referral. There are some tools that can let you find out if your concerned websites have the referrer policy enabled.

13. How to Complete Setup? What does "Complete Setup" or "Pending" status stands for?

Our app can be installed both as a Dashboard app only or as a Dashboard app plus a widget (stat-counter to be added to your Editor that can be made visible on your Live website if you want to).

If you already installed our app as a Dashboard app only, and you don't want to add the extra stat-counter to make it visible on your website, you should be all set. Please know that you don't need to complete any setup, the app should work just fine, so you can ignore that Pending status.

If you want to add the stat-counter as well, then click on Complete Setup, add the widget to your Editor, set it as per your needs and Publish the changes.


NOTE: The widget app is only available for the Classic Editor and not for the ADI one. Clicking on Complete Setup while using the ADI Editor will do nothing, since our widget app is not compatible with ADI.

14. Deleted App

Based on our previous experience with other users, there are two scenarios that might cause this uninstallation of the app:

  1. If you delete the widget stat-counter from your website Editor, then the application will be removed from your website. This only happens if you added the widget to your editor before February 2021. There is also an email notice saying that you requested the deletion (make sure you have an Email Address set up in our app’s settings section)
  2. Some apps are simply removed from the website, when the normal Editor is switched to Wix ADI Editor. The apps added during the usual editing, that are not compatible with ADI (TWIPLA and other apps are not among the apps in ADI) are being erased when switching to that type of Editor.

Our advice is to re-add the app as soon as possible and by doing this, you make sure that your data is not lost for a long time range. Our app can be installed both as a widget in the editor, which also installs the main dashboard app, or simply as dashboard app only, and nothing gets added to your editor then.

Therefore, if you do not want anything added to your live website (the widget in your Editor), but only to track the data, just completely uninstall the app, Publish the changes and add our app again as a Dashboard app only this time and do not add the widget, but only the dashboard app. Now, check your stats at any moment, directly from your dashboard, without having to go through your Editor anymore! This way, the app won't get removed next time you use Wix ADI, the risk of removing it from the Editor by mistake being minimal as well.

Feedback Answered Questions

1. Can I see visits before the date I installed the app?

Unfortunately, you can only pull website traffic reports / stats from the date you have installed the TWIPLA app to present. 

We were unable to track the visits for the period that our app was not yet present or installed on your website. I'm truly sorry. It happens like this because there is Data processing agreement that is signed when you install the app. We do not have access to your website until you accept that. We are a 3rd party app in Wix app market, so the app does not come automatically installed within your website.

2. Can I see the company details, the name and email address of the visitors?

TWIPLA is an analytics app which makes your website traffic easy to read and understand. You can just see from where your audience came from (referrals), IP & location, device, display size, operating system, browsers.

We can only provide you with analytics about your website, so you can get a better overview on how your performing or how to communicate more. Due to some privacy policies, analytics apps are not allowed to collect emails or company names. If you want to get subscribers, we highly recommend you to add another type of app from the Wix app market and stay in touch with your customers. 

There are many great mailing services which you can use to collect your users' email address and then send them some nice newsletters and share your most valuable content. Please remember that they need to provide their email address voluntarily in order to receive your emails.

Through our app, you can have access to real-time data about your page visits, visitors, browsers, bounce rate, country, user location and many other stats depending on your subscription. Privacy laws and new GDPR regulations do not allow us to either collect or share user personal information. On the other hand, Wix has its own policy and it doesn't give us access to specific information about our customer users so we simply don't have the data.

3. Can I download the recordings?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to download/save the recordings, since the video is not human readable. It is made of event logs and code, which are only interpreted by our app and converted into a video.

4. How to update the Payment Method?

You may update the payment method by going to payment method within your Wix account and then look for the TWIPLA app.
