Kyle Bass Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 On a secondary note, we have a very small forum with a couple hundred users per day and google analytics puts our peak page views in a single day at 1.2k. Thus 750k page views a day makes no sense at all. Do you have robots.txt enabled on our account? There is no way we are even seeing a fraction of that. For instance, right now we have a grand total of 76 members and 9 guests online. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Google Analytics is what is known as "object based analytics". It only is downloaded/triggered when something downloads the GA javascript. Bots (such as Googlebot itself), automated processes, etc don't download/trigger this and are never counted in it's analytics. IPB is counting how many raw pages it delivered. It's the "real" number of actual pages delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we take bots into consideration we only have a couple of hundred pages total on the forum and are using the invision community-supplied crawl management settings. Clearly, there is something wrong with the tracking or the invision supplied crawl management settings. There has to be a way to audit this supposed traffic.
