?utm_campaign=show&utm_source=hn&utm_medium=comment why do people do this to their own personal blog?

  I added UTM parameters so I can see how people interact with my content. I also did it as way to learn how to use Plausible and analytics for future projects.

    Isn’t HTTP_REFERER not enough to pinpoint the traffic that came from HN?
    • jdegrootlutzner 5y ago
      About 1/4 of the traffic that used the link above did not have HTTP_REFERER set. This portion of the traffic would show up as "Direct / None" on Plausible

        Do you know why that is? Private mode or something similar?
