Just a shot in the dark, but if you use Cloudflare already, their stats include view counts. It's also probably more accurate than relying on JS tracking tools because they can count the actual requests to your site.
- anderspitman 7y agoMy CloudFlare stats show multiple times as many hits as GA. I'm guessing it's not handling bots/spiders or something.
- TomGullen 7y agoWe put this down to people with JavaScript disabled or ad blockers. CF does filter bot traffic but will capture all hits as it’s tracking through network requests. For us it’s around a 35% increase in what GA reports.
- anderspitman 7y agoFor me CF is showing 3x GA unique visitors. Though that's almost all HN traffic, so I suppose it's certainly possible that 2/3 HN users have blockers.
