My question in a little more detail

After every rebuild I see a netlify access in google analytics. Can you suggest a filter to remove access of the infrastructure from analytics?

Hi! Any news about excluding Netlify from GA?

[ermakovich]

@skix123 The easiest way is to go to GA admin settings and to create filter to include only traffic to your public hostname. I analyzed access logs and realized that in most cases Netlify uses hostname like master--${property}.netlify.com. This method will also help to filter out all previous traffic registered in GA.

Here is a blog post, where it's described in a bit more details: https://ermakovich.name/posts/exclude-netlify-traffic-in-ga/
