How are pageviews counted?

[AryaM]

I am not sure if the number of pageviews are correct. The number of engaged users is actually quite less since I am not using the platform for a while.
250k pagesviews doesn’t make sense as number of users engaged daily are barely in single digits.

pageviews are the number of raw requests to load a page. the count can be significantly higher than the daily engaged users. anon page views are always higher and crawlers add to it of course. you should as a rule expect that you are getting more anon user visits than member views.

Understand the Dashboard (101 crash course)

Any viewer that is not logged in. I’m not sure I understand your question. If someone responds to a topic via email it creates a post which is counted in the same way as other posts on the dashboard. Not necessarily. A user might click through to a page and then continue to read (i.e. 1 click, more than one pageview). A ‘pageview’ isn’t the same as reading ‘one page’. Here is more info on how we measure pageviews.

Why there is huge difference in Pageviews tracking number on discourse admin dahboard and on google analytics

Hi, I found there is huge difference in google analytics pageviews number and pageviews number on admin panel of discourse. On discourse’s dashboard it is showing 10,000 pageviews however on Google Analytics its only 100. Can anyone please let me know what could be the reason for such a huge difference in tracking of two systems? I have configured Google Analytics script by putting up ga tracking code @ Admin -> Settings -> Basic Setup

Anyone noticed a dip in pageviews since the recent beta6 update? I noticed in the release notes something about fixing multiple N+1 while loading threads, so maybe to do with that? We updated on July 15 and ever since the pageviews have been significantly down.

There was an update in one of the recent upgrades that reduced the false counting of page views i think, or at least that’s what i took from the comments, and is definitely reflected in the discourse stats.

Has anyone else had an increase in page views since moving to GA4 from Universal Analytics? My traffic has increased quite a lot, assume it is due to the number of people with Cookies blocked which would have effected the UA count quite a lot?
