# Ignored URLs

> Exclude test paths and noise from analytics without changing how they redirect.

An ignored URL still redirects normally for the visitor, but the visit is excluded from analytics: it isn't counted, doesn't appear in the Campaigns & URLs table, and records no attribution.

Use ignored URLs for internal test links, health checks, and paths you never want cluttering your reports.

## Add an ignored URL

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Ignored tab">
    Go to **Mappings → Ignored** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the path">
    Click **Add pattern**, pick the domain, and enter the path starting with `/` — for example `/test` or `/internal/check`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Ignored URLs match the **exact path only**: `/test` does not cover `/testing` or `/test/foo`. Add one entry per path.

## Ignored URLs vs. mappings

|                      | Mapping       | Ignored URL |
| -------------------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| Changes the redirect | Yes (Mode C)  | No          |
| Counted in analytics | Yes           | No          |
| Pattern types        | Exact or glob | Exact only  |

<Note>
  Common scanner and bot probe paths (such as `/.env` or `/wp-admin`) are filtered out globally by Dava — you don't need to ignore those yourself.
