How your activity is tracked

Learn how page views, dwell beacon tracking, 400-day view pruning, 2-year DM retention, and share hit attribution work.

Understanding how page views, dwell time, direct messages, and social sharing hits are logged and pruned on Flear.ch.

1 View Logging & Dwell Beacon Tracking

Recently viewed listings are recorded instantly on page open (ListingShow.php). Dwell time is tracked via sendBeacon POST requests to /listing-views/{id}/dwell (throttled at 30 requests/min per user, capped at 4 hours). Staying on a page for at least 3 seconds records the view as an engaged view.

2 Data Retention, Pruning & View Milestones

  • Listing View Retention: ListingView rows are automatically pruned weekly after 400 days.
  • DM Retention: Direct messages are automatically deleted after 2 years (marketplace.messages.retention_years via PruneOldMessages).
  • Share Hit Attribution: OpenGraph and share image hits (ListingOgHit, ListingShareImageHit) record user agent platform data.
  • View Milestones: Sellers receive milestone notifications when their listings reach 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 views.
