Google Analytics Local Data

  • I have unusual problem, I made wordpress theme and then i putted live. The problem is when i use Google Analytics to scan my site , it is reporting 200+ morphed pages , and what is interesting, the url for that pages starting with a name of my local folder, which i used during my development, I cant’t figure out how to remove that morphed pages and how they are listed when i scan online site?

    You apparently had ga() script on your site while developing, which got logged as events as you developed the site. GA doesn’t care where its script is called from, localhost, host’s server, someone else’s server. Doesn’t matter. It’s how we get “ghost referrer” spam in our data if it’s not filtered out.

    There is a way to filter out events from your own IP so that your own usage does not skew report data. I’m not sure if it affects previous data or not. How to better use GA is beyond the scope of these forums. There are many articles online about GA filtering. I believe Google has GA specific support forums if you need specific help.

    Thank you for the answer, yes I was used ‘ga’ on my local site in the ‘head’ tag, now i better understand what is going on.
