Something must’ve changed on the end of GA. I’m currently testing on my local environment and even though I see the tag being loaded and the data is being sent properly, the pageview isn’t registered.
I’m going to keep testing, and I’ll keep you posted!
Okay, so even when I use the tracking code provided by Google, barely any traffic is measured. Some user engagement hits, but that’s it.
Have you tried the Google’s own tracking code? Does it change anything?

Okay, thank you. What is a Google’s own tracking code?Before installing the plugin, I was trying to integrate Google Tag Manager and use it to connect analytics. But it didn’t work for me. Is this what you are talking about?
What I meant with “Google’s own tracking code” is the tracking code you’re offered right after creating a new property in Google Analytics.
But, I did some testing and it didn’t make a difference. But today, I’m seeing hits again in my tests, and another user also said hits have picked back up. Is that also the case with you?

Thank you, dear, for reminding me of that. I had completely forgotten that the tracking code can be added to the site without a plugin. I did it today and immediately saw an increase in traffic, visitors, etc. I’m not sure if I need to plug in your plugin again. Okay?
You did, huh? Ok. I’ll do some testing again.
It’s entirely up to you whether you want to add Google Analytics with or without CAOS. CAOS uses a locally hosted file which bypasses some ad blockers, but if that no longer works for you, I fully understand that you’ll switch to the regular tracking code.
I’ll dig into this again after the weekend. I’ll let you know if I find a fix.

Thanks for the answers. I hope you find a solution and make us happy. I will gladly switch CAOS on again
Hi again,
Tested it again. The issue seems to have been on Google Analytics’ side. Everything’s working on my end again and all pageviews are coming through.
While researching this issue I did find out that Firefox seems to be always blocking Google Analytics, even when Enhanced Tracking Protection is disabled. So, that could explain a drop in your visitors, too.
I don’t know if you’re a CAOS Pro user, but if so, I’d suggest enabling its Stealth Mode option, because that does bypass Firefox’s block, as well as others (ad blockers, etc.)
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you, dear. Now I see the problem is indeed related to Google analytics. For a week analytics connected directly without plugin worked fine. But then again Google stopped counting all visits. I connected on the site analytics Clarity from Microsoft, thanks to this I see that there is normal traffic, the same as it was before.However Clarity is very slow loading the site. I’ll have to switch it off
