Why is traffic not being blocked?
Monocle does not block traffic by default. Make sure you have implemented enforcement in your system, or configured a supported integration such as Cloudflare.
Similar questions
Why am I not seeing any data?
Check that your Monocle script is correctly installed, your publishable key is valid, and traffic is reaching your application.
Why might the Monocle script fail to load?
This is usually caused by mcl.io being blocked by a firewall, DNS filter, or endpoint security tool. Confirm the domain is allowlisted, and test in an incognito window or from another network to isolate the cause.
Why did my Monocle assessment volume suddenly drop?
A sudden drop in assessment volume is usually caused by a change on your side — a recent deployment, a Content Security Policy (CSP) update, or a Cloudflare configuration change — rather than a Spur outage. To rule out a Spur-side issue, check https://status.spur.us. Then review your worker logs and recent configuration changes. If volume still looks incorrect after that, contact support@spur.us with the time the drop started and any recent changes you made.
Why is my traffic marked as a VPN or proxy?
Monocle identifies traffic based on known infrastructure, behavior, and network signals. In some cases, shared networks or ISP routing may appear similar to anonymized traffic.
Why did I get a Monocle health email?
A Monocle health email means one of your Monocle applications has gone longer than its health threshold without traffic, which usually means Monocle is no longer installed or running correctly on that site or app. Only organization admins get these emails. Check that the integration is still in place, or, if the application is simply quiet, set a longer threshold under Alert after on the application's Settings page. Admins can turn the email off for an application in the same Notifications section, or for themselves on their Profile page. See Understanding Monocle Application Health Status.
