Why tracking needs a dynamic code
A static code sends the phone straight to your URL with nothing in between, so there is nothing to count. A dynamic code passes through dirqr.com first, which is the only moment a scan can be recorded before the redirect completes. If you want any scan signal at all, you need a dynamic code.
How DirQR records a scan
Each scan writes an event at the Cloudflare edge as the redirect happens. Recording is deliberately kept off the critical path, so a scan is logged without making the phone wait. If analytics ever fail, the redirect still completes.
What is available today
DirQR records scan events without building cross-site advertising profiles or selling scan data. A dashboard counter, reporting views, and analytics history are not offered yet.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a QR code track scans?
- A dynamic QR redirect can record scan events because each scan passes through the service first. DirQR records those events at the edge, but does not yet offer dashboard reporting.
- Does tracking slow down the redirect?
- No. Scan recording is kept off the critical redirect path, so the phone reaches your destination without waiting on analytics, even if analytics are temporarily unavailable.
