# Page views

> Pages are tracked automatically in the browser. Screens in mobile apps take one line.

## Automatic in the browser

After `init`, the SDK sends a `page_viewed` event on load and on every client-side route change (Next.js, React Router, Vue Router, SvelteKit…). Nothing to add. Every other event is also attached to the page it happened on, so you can see where a `checkout_started` really happens.

`turn it off`

```ts
init("SB-EU-xxxxxxxxxx", { pageviews: false });
```

## What is sent

- Only the path: `/pricing`. Never the query string or the hash, which often hold tokens or emails.
- The server replaces identifiers with `:id`, so `/projects/8f3a…` and `/projects/42` both become `/projects/:id`, and your Pages list stays readable.
- An email or a long token inside a path is replaced too.

## Hash routers and mobile screens

If your routes live in the hash (`/#/settings`), or in a mobile app, record views yourself:

`example`

```ts
import { trackPageview } from "@shipabase/js";

trackPageview("/settings");
```

See [React Native & Expo](https://shipabase.dev/docs/react-native) for a one-line setup with Expo Router or React Navigation.

## Already tracking page_viewed yourself?

Remove your manual `trackEvent("page_viewed", …)` calls after upgrading to `@shipabase/js` 0.4, or set `pageviews: false`, so views aren’t counted twice.
