The Problem
Google Analytics (GA) is the most popular web analytics tool, and it’s great at what it does.
But GA doesn’t show a complete picture of your website traffic.
GA’s biggest weakness is its tracking code. Users who block GA tracking don’t appear in your GA reports.
This isn’t just a GA problem: it affects all web analytics tools that require JS-based tracking. Blocked analytics tracking = no data.
If you investigate this problem on your own websites, you’ll be surprised at the results.
The Solution
To see Users who block GA tracking, you don’t need to replace GA. Just introduce another product that contains complementary features.
Angelfish Software is a self-hosted web analytics solution that doesn’t require JavaScript tracking.
Angelfish shows data that isn’t shown in GA, like:
- Users who block GA tracking
- Usernames & IP Addresses
- Impressions & Email Opens
- Broken Links & Site Errors
- Direct File Downloads
- Date Ranges as small as one second
- All Data / No Sampling
Angelfish is also good for tracking intranet websites and web-based applications, and understands your existing GA campaign tags.
Angelfish supports GA by covering the areas GA can’t see – just like a good wingman!
