An external referrer is any site that links to your Confluence instance. Each time someone clicks on the external link, your Confluence site can record the click as a referral. By default, Confluence records the number of hits made to a page from any link on an external site. If you turn this option off, Confluence will not record the hits.

To ignore external referrers:

  1. Choose the cog icon  at top right of the screen, then choose Confluence Admin.
  2. Choose 'Manage Referrers' in the left-hand panel.
  3. Deselect 'Record External Referrers'.
