A branded domain in Uxify allows you to serve Uxify scripts from your own domain, ensuring they load as first-party assets. This improves security, enhances privacy compliance, and helps bypass tracking blockers that might otherwise prevent the scripts from executing.

Why use a branded domain?

  1. Bypass tracking blockers – Many browsers and extensions block third-party scripts by default. Serving Uxify scripts from your own domain ensures they are treated as first-party assets and are less likely to be blocked.

  2. Improve security – By hosting scripts under your domain, you reduce the risk of third-party script injections or malicious tampering.

  3. Enhance trust and compliance – Some privacy regulations and corporate policies require assets to be served from a first-party domain. A branded domain setup helps meet these requirements.

How to set up a branded domain

  1. Navigate to Settings > Website Settings:

  2. Choose a subdomain – Select a subdomain (e.g., uxify.yourdomain.com).

  3. Create a CNAME record – In your DNS provider, create a CNAME record pointing uxify.yourdomain.com to connect.cwv.io.

  4. Verify and test – Once your DNS setup has been updated click on "Verify" to ensure the DNS record is set correctly.

  5. Update your snippets - The new branded domain setup will require you to update your previous snippet from Uxify, with the newly generated one.

  6. Verify installation - Once your snippet has been updated you can verify it to ensure that all steps were implemented correctly.

Troubleshooting

  • DNS changes not reflected – DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Try clearing your DNS cache or using a DNS checker. Learn more in our in-depth article.

  • Scripts not loading – Ensure the CNAME record is correctly set up and that your Uxify configuration is updated.

  • Mixed content errors – If your site uses HTTPS, make sure your branded domain is correctly serving content over SSL.
