AMP analytics

Many thanks for reaching out @frav8

I’ve checked your site and I can confirm a valid Analytics snippet placed on your AMP URLs.

One possible reason why you may not finding visits when using the Analytics real time report may be that you have the default Site Kit Google Analytics settings enabled, which doesn’t count logged in traffic. If checking your AMP URLs site source code you’ll notice the __gaOptOutExtension attribute present.

For testing purposes you may wish to temporarily enable Analytics for all visitors, or you can visit your site while not logged in and check the Analytics real time report.
(Site Kit > Settings > Connected Services > Analytics > Edit > Excluded from Analytics)

Let me know how you get on with the above, or if you have any questions.

Hi @frav8,

Thanks for the update. I’ve performed more checks on your site and I don’t see anything blocking AMP-analytics visits for non logged in users. I can also see a valid page view request when using the Tag Assistant Chrome extension, referencing my own site visit.

I can also confirm a valid Site Kit Google Analytics snippet placement, without modification, on both your AMP URLs and your canonical (non AMP) URLs.

As we can only assist with plugin queries here in the Site Kit forums please reach out to the product experts on the Google Analytics Help Center in relation to any possible issues with the real time reporting tool at present.

Furthermore, if I turn on the option “Redirect mobile visitors to AMP” on Amp plugin, the traffic on Analytics drops by 50% circa…

Unfortunately I can’t be sure of any cause on this. This is an AMP plugin configuration and an Analytics reporting issue. Sessions are unified between both versions of your site so posing this question in the Analytics Help Center may also be useful.
