Google Analytics is a service used to track the website activity of website users, such as session duration, pages per session, and bounce rate. along with the information on the source of the traffic. It can be integrated with Google AdWords, with which users can review online campaigns by tracking landing page quality and conversions.

Problem

In order to perform the most lifelike scanning, AppCheck uses real browsers as part of the scanning engine: these will execute JavaScript on any pages scanned, including JavaScript that phones home to Google, meaning that AppCheck scan traffic can appear in Google Analytics data.

Customers may find, especially on lower traffic sites, that the traffic generated by AppCheck scans of their website creates a significant proportion of the overall traffic seen and hence skews the data in Google Analytics.

Solution

It is advised for customers to exclude the AppCheck scan hub IP addresses within Google Analytics.
