Pageviews from Anonymous Users have exploded but Google Analytics showed no traffic growth. How to find about where the increase come from?

Maybe for the ad networks who are locked in mortal combat with bots and fake clicks for advertising dollars. But at Stack Overflow and Discourse? It is largely a non issue.

If you enjoy arguing hypotheticals based on theories, by all means knock yourself out. Spend all day every day theorizing to your heart’s content. I hope this theorizing brings you great joy and happiness in your life! In the meantime we have businesses to run, so I prefer to make decisions based on the actual data we have gathered at our actual businesses. I guess I am a little crazy that way. Sorry if you find that bothersome or perplexing.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!
