Hello Toplytics support! Hope you are doing well. The monthly pages views presented on my website are boosted at least 5 times compared to GA. Why is that? Thanks in advance, – Matt The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] Hello @mattdgn , The data should be viewable in GA at Behaviour > Site Content > All Pages. Given the exact same time period and URL analysed, a small difference is expected between the data you see in GA web interface and the data that is being output by their API endpoints. The GA web interface uses data sampling while the API does not. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2637192 However I am not sure if a 5x increase in pageviews can be the result of this? In my experience a variation of ~10-20% can happen, usually even lower then this, but a x times increase is unsual. Another reason can be if you have that option to “exclude bot traffic” from your data in the web interface. That would also apear in the API data AFAIK. Compared to “Behaviour > Site Content > All Pages” it’s really different, even more than 5x now, and not even the same ranking of articles. Bot traffic seems negligible. Anything I could try to fix it? Thanks! Given the data in GA API is coming correctly, perhaps is a bug in the plugin? Can you try to use a smaller timeframe say 1 week or day and compare that to the GA data? Switched to daily stats and purged cache. Previous data remains… Hello @mattdgn , We have a fix in place for this, can you please update the plugin with this version: http://dl.presslabs.net/toplytics4.0.3.zip Ok it works TY!
