Gabriel Touchette Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Hi there, I've been noticing a significant drop in page viewed on my forum (almost half). I understand that some feature now work without actually refreshing the page but as a publisher, loosing half my pageviews cuts half of my CPM revenues... How is it going to be adressed?
Colonel_mortis Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 You can disable ajax pagination under the custom tab of the settings for the theme that you're using.
Gabriel Touchette Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 Just did, i'll monitor the changes that it makes on my page viewed. Thanks for your time @Colonel_mortis
Gabriel Touchette Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Do you think that the AJAX component is the sole responsible for this massive drop in page views?

It will have made a considerable difference, though I don't know whether it can account for all of the drop - it depends on your site. The best way to tell is to see if the view count recovers once it's disabled.
sound Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 maybe turn off guest caching as well? not 100% sure if it affects the counter/ads
Gabriel Touchette Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Sure is a short sampling period but I don't any jump in page views on my side... Any one had any luck by killing the AJAX component?
Management Lindy Posted May 13, 2016 Management Posted May 13, 2016 This is resolved in a future update (possibly 4.1.12) - we will notify Google of a page request upon ajax calls.

Was it part of the latest update? I don't recall seing it in the list of element fixed or new features

Saurabh Jain Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I have been upgrading within 5 days at the release so it has been always latest........... but the site traffic has been increasing ...

(aka 4.0.X to 4.1.X)

You will need to drill into Google Analytics to confirm the sources of your traffic but if its mostly caused by lack of traffic from Google I would check Googles webmaster tools and see if it reports any errors/issues. If it doesnt and google has tweaked the search algorithm then there is little you can do sadly.

Gabriel Touchette Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 My page view counts is still way below what is used to be for the same amount of traffic... Any updates or people with the same issue? Thanks
Simon Woods Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I think this was supposed to fix any pageview issues: Especially judging from this in the comments: On 2016-11-15 at 2:55 PM, Rikki said: On 2016-11-15 at 10:58 AM, Jirinex said: Does this mean that all this time our page views were wrong? Edit: Reason I am asking is that when we migrated from vbulletin, we lost around 40 to 60% of our pageviews, and we never got that back. They weren't 'wrong' per se, but Google Analytics wouldn't track dynamic pages by default, and since we use ajax to load a lot of content in IPS4, those actions wouldn't count as a view. That goes a long way towards explaining why you'd see a drop in overall page views. This change will enable those dynamic page views to be tracked.
Gabriel Touchette Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 I was under the same impression but when I look at my stats, the page view count is way below what it used to be for more visitors...
