Google Analytics vistors with javascript disabled

[Camilo de Barros]

Hi

Is it possible, and if so how do I do it, to get information in Google Analytics regarding  visitors who DO NOT have javascript enabled?

Thank you

You can do it, you just won't be able to get that much information about them.

The trick is to use a <noscript> tag, and put an image request to the Measurement Protocol inside that tag. Here's an example:

<!-- Google Analytics -->

<script>

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){

(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),

m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)

})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');

ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

<!-- End Google Analytics -->

<!-- JavaScript disabled fallback -->

<noscript>

  <img src="http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&t=pageview&tid=UA-XXXXX-Y&cid=1234&dl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com&dt=Example%20Page%20Title">

</noscript>

<!-- End JavaScript disabled fallback -->

You can look at the hit I've used in the Hit Builder tool. As you can see I've set the &dl and &dt parameters, so you'd have to have the ability to set those programmatically on all of your pages.

I hope that helps.

Hi Thanks

I'm not very good with scripts...

I take it, all I have to do is to add this bit below what I already have in the pages, right?

</noscript>

<!-- End JavaScript disabled fallback -->

Yes, but do not just copy and paste that hit. That's just an example, you're going to need to customize the hit you use to your site, and it will need to be different on each page.
