Feature request. Option for dual graphs for JavaScript vs. non-JavaScript Mode?
-
So, there’s an option in the Settings to turn on “JavaScript Mode” which makes it render results similar to Google Analytics, by ignoring requests from browsers without JavaScript support.
When this got turned on recently our total page views went from 600-800/day to about 50-150/day, and unique IPs dropped a bit too.
Now that I’ve turned it back off, total page views seem to be climbing back to original levels. But there’s a weird looking “trough” in the data now.
It would be kind of cool if it were possible to code a “dual-mode” option. Where it would record BOTH sets of data and distinguish between them in the graphs.
Perhaps a bipartite system with “Unique IPs, JavaScript-only; Total hits, Javascript-only” and “Unique IPs, ALL; Total hits, ALL” (including non-JavaScript capable browsers). So, basically you’s have two blue graphs and two green graphs, or something like that. So, you can see kind of the difference between real humans and humans + scripts (search bots & spammers).
I suppose if one really wanted to, one could also have a third pair of graphs for “non-JavaScript ONLY” which would essentially be the portion of views that were mostly ‘bots of some form.
See what I’m saying? I think that woulds be handy… As opposed to ONLY collecting one kind of info or the OTHER kind of info, collect BOTH kinds of info and let the admin decide which to display? Or, maybe let the admin tell which type(s) to CAPTURE and then ALSO let them specify how they want ti displayed in their widgets? That is, if they really only want to CAPTURE the human stream, do that. If they want to capture both streams do that, and then specify which to display by default on the graph (but with the ability to display either / both / all ways).
Make sense?
