TapCub tracks outbound link clicks automatically as the outbound click event: any http or https link to a different host. See them in Web analytics → Events. Turn it off with data-outbound="false" on the script tag.
It is on by default
The TapCub script records a click on a link to a different host as an outbound click (__outbound). You do not need to add code or a tag manager trigger.
What counts:
- Links whose host differs from the page you are on.
- Only
httpandhttpslinks.mailto:,tel:and script links are skipped.
Where to see it
Open Web analyticsEvents. Outbound clicks appear with a readable label alongside your own events. Open the row to see its properties, such as the link destination. Clicks on buttons and links inside your own site are covered by autocapture.
Use it as a goal
To count clicks on one partner or app store link as a conversion, create an event goal on the outbound click with a property condition for that destination in Web analyticsGoals. Then the goal breaks down by source, entry page, country and device.
Turn it off
Add data-outbound="false" to the script tag:
<script defer src="https://static.pathclue.com/client.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY" data-outbound="false"></script>If outbound clicks are turned off in project settings, the collector drops them even if the script sends them.
Confirm it works
Do the action yourself on the live site, then open Web analyticsRealtime: the event appears within a few seconds. Totals and properties are in Web analyticsEvents.
