Is there a way to stop Google Analytics counting development work as hits?

Question

I have added the JavaScript that I need to the bottom of my pages so that I can make use of Google Analytics. Only problem is that I am sure that it is counting all my devel

Answer 1

I have a PHP variable set for my local development that gives me a terminal for providing data/feedback etc when I'm working on stuff.

I use XAMPP so that has an env variable for tmp which is the following:

$isLocal = (getenv("tmp") == '\xampp\tmp') ? true : false;

This doesn't exist on my production server because xampp is not being used

if($isLocal){
  // do something, eg. load my terminal
}
