When production logging is enabled

The prepared production configuration records requested document paths, response status, time, client IP and browser user agent. It excludes query strings, request bodies, cookies and authorization headers. A first-party timing script measures page views and approximate visible-page time using anonymous browser and session identifiers.

The timing script sends updates only to this website. Visible time is an estimate, not proof that someone read or understood a page. Traffic, timing records and diagnostics are configured for a rolling 60-day retention period. Production collection and shared-dashboard ingestion will need verification at deployment; they are not active simply because the local build exists.
