Effect on web analytics data

In general, ContentKing’s monitoring doesn’t have any effect on your analytics data. However, there are certain edge-case scenarios in which ContentKing can impact the data.

These scenarios also depend on the monitoring configuration you are using in ContentKing, namely on the JavaScript Rendering feature.

Effect on web analytics when JavaScript rendering is disabled.

If you're using a JavaScript-based web analytics solution such as Google Analytics, ContentKing won't affect your analytics data.

ContentKing may inflate your web analytics data in one situation only: when you're using a server-side web analytics solution.

In this case you should prevent our crawlers from being tracked by excluding our crawlers' IP addresses.

Effect on web analytics when JavaScript rendering is enabled.

When monitoring a website with JavaScript Rendering enabled, ContentKing blocks requests to the most common web analytics and ad services to ensure that your web analytics data don’t get inflated by ContentKing’s monitoring.

This means that if you’re using a common JavaScript-based web analytics solution such as Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics, ContentKing’s monitoring does not have any effect on your web analytics data and you can safely enable the feature without any concerns.

If you’re using a non-standard web analytics solution and you want to ensure that ContentKing’s monitoring doesn’t affect your analytics data, make sure to configure custom on-page request blocking in ContentKing.
