: Google Analytics not recording 99%+ of traffic I have Google Analytics on a Rails web app. Lately traffic has picked up, and I get about 1000 page views per hour as seen from Rails. But GA

I have Google Analytics on a Rails web app.

Lately traffic has picked up, and I get about 1000 page views per hour as seen from Rails. But GA only picks up 25-100 per day, and I need help understanding this.

I know GA doesn't pick up some kinds of traffic, like web crawlers, and my own traffic. What else does it deliberately ignore?

Is there a way I can recognize these categories in my Rails code?

GA "deliberately ignores" anything that doesn't run it's javascript tracking snippet, and a list of common crawlers. By default it would track your own visits.

Look at the reported browser of the visits with your Rails code. Good crawlers self-identify, and bad crawlers tend to not identify or use out-of-date versions.
