Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Thanks for introducing Screaming Frog. very usefull!

It seems the GA is properly installed. I've checked most of our pages through this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-analytics-debugger/jnkmfdileelhofjcijamephohjechhna

I spent a long time searching a possible change taking place right around the time this drop append and also tried to pinpoint the drop to a specific audience, region, system type etc. But no luck. It seems the increase in amount of sessions and the drop in session duration is consistent throughout all regions, devices, acquisition channels etc.

Check out the enclosed screen shot. it literally append over night.

Looking on exit pages, I don't see a pattern. There's an increase on the amount of exists (sines we have more overall sessions) but the exists are distribute across all pages.

I would appreciate your help...!

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

while I do have a few weird domains (including 4webmasters.org) in the list you pointed me to, I also have my main website, my subdomians, youtube and many others.

How do I know which ones to filter?

Also, the Ave. session duration from these "visitors" is over a minute. I don't think they explain the drop from 2:10 to 0:14.

The amount of visitors from these is not substantial and does not explain the jump in visitors (that started with the drop in session duration).

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,

My Ave. session duration has dropped from 2:10 to 0:14 overnight. At the same time, amount of sessions from all channels grew on average of 56%. This increased (and I guess low quality) traffic is coming in from multiple regions, languages, devices and channels. I was not able to pin point it to 1 source, location, landing page etc. See enclosed screen shot.

I would appreciate if anyone can shed some light on what's wrong and if there are any SEO implications.

Thanks.
