    Hi!

    Thanks for the great plugin. I have a question: After setup, my real-time traffic is up by about 400 percent compared to the standard analytics. That seems a bit much to me 😉

    Do you have any idea what could be the reason for that? Does the plugin also capture Google AMP? Then the jump would be smaller, from about 200 to 300 real-time users instead of 60 to 300 …

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @seph,
    thanks a lot for your feedback.

    This plugin uses the server request you get from the browser to your wordpress installation to load the page. With AMP pages you mean the cached pages at google?
    They shouldn’t not be tracked, because they are hosted in googles cache.

    What you could do in a first step, to help me debugging is set log to frontend = true under Debug > Log requests to FE for GET and if cookie set.

    Then it would be interesting to know how you configured the plugin, especially all Settings under the privacy tab.

    Another helpful thing would be, if you set under debug Write GA request log file = true. And sent me the log of a specific timeframe. The longer the better.

    And another question: What do you mean by “Realtime Traffic”? Can you get a bit more specifc which real time metric is increasing?
    1. User
    2. Hits
    3. Pageviews / Events?

    Would be really great if you could sent me al this, then i am really happy to debug it.

    Regards
    Nikel

    Hey there,

    thanks! Du sprichst nicht zufällig deutsch? Und falls ja, könnten wir auf E-Mail wechseln? Du findest sie auf der Webseite.

    If do you not speak english: Could we change to email?
