On April 12th I spotted that JetPack were now charging to look at my traffic figures in detail, so I thought I’d look elsewhere. We’re a small website and don’t exactly pull in enough money to make the premium features worthwhile. I already had (and still have) Google Site Kit installed, linked to Search Console, Analytics, AdSense, PageSpeed Insights and Tag Manager. However, I spotted MonsterInsights and installed it for a trial.
I gave it a few hours, realised that it was just a freemium overlay of Google Analytics, and uninstalled it. I opted to just use Google Site Kit / Analytics directly. While I had it installed, one small change I made was the alter our site meta data (added some, basically! We had none before, and changed the way our posts are titles on social media).
However… two days later and my figures on Analytics tanked. On the 13th to 14th April – the days after my tinkering and the only ones since then that I can see on Analytics – we’re down a consistent 65-70% in terms of visitors. It’s even labelled as “Anomoly Detected”. Except that the Jetpack overview for the same dates disagrees with that, and is showing figures roughly inline with what we’d usually have.
What could have broken with Site Kit when removing Monster? And any idea how I could fix it? Do I need to reinstall MonsterInsights and tinker with anything? Or remove and reinstall Site Kit?
I’ve looked further and individual pages are getting views and being registered on Analytics, but their individual views are all down by huge percentages. The implication being that any tags / header code must still be in place otherwise at least some pages wouldn’t be registering traffic.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

for example, from 100 counts to 170 from Mexico.
It is an increment of 70 visitors.
However, there are No visitor logs shown on Google Analytics or Analtify.
the Same thing with WordFence Traffic Logs, there’s no Traffic log shows

I don’t feel it’s a problem with Jetpack seeing as I viewed the stats through WordPress and it had similar results.
The stats say that I’ve had the following:
Views today:8 Best ever:30 All time:56
How do I know I’ve had more visitors?
Well, I shorten my links with bitly before sharing to social media accounts. I’ve shared 2 articles and have had about 750 clicks (482 on one and 298 on the other).
I’ve always used bitly and it’s served me well, I have no idea what the problem could be, all feedback is welcome. Thank you.
]]>The visitor count displayed using the plugin is greater than that at https://wordpress.com/stats/day/
I read in your FAQ section that the other way around can happen because these have better detection than WP Statistics has.
Thanks in advance for your support.
