Hi there,

I’m hoping someone can help. 🙏

I’m looking to better track and understand traffic coming onto my community.

I know that I can track user visits from members who log in. However, am i correct in saying that it isn’t possible to track user visits from anonymous viewers (non-logged in) users?

Is there a SQL query that will give me from [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true)?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

There is the graph at the admin dashboard showing anonymous views, but are you asking for if there is more tracking info beyond that?

Hi Architect,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I saw the anonymous page views.

In an ideal world, I’d love to see total visits to the community (logged in & Anonymous combined), that’d probably requires a cookie and would really track unique devices per day.

So much traffic is from people viewing content without logging in, but I don’t currently have a way of tracking it.

All suggestions/ideas are welcome and appreciated. 👍
