linkDownloadFileTypes

When trackDownloadLinks is enabled and a visitor clicks on a link, AppMeasurement checks the URL of the link for filetype extensions. If the link URL contains a filetype found in linkDownloadFileTypes, a download link image request is automatically sent.

Use linkDownloadFileTypes to customize what file extensions you want to count as download links.

If a clicked link matches both exit link and download link criteria, the download link type takes priority.
