Got a question about the Insights Dashboard and the traffic report. I guess it is not so easy for Patreon to gather all the data to produce a killer report. It would be good to know how the Patreon developers are looking to develop the Traffic stats further, if at all?
My issue is that I can’t work out where my own website traffic shows up. I have low traffic so it should be really obvious. But the categories shown, especially getting only “Direct” traffic for the last 3 days, makes me think my web-based traffic is being categorised as “Direct” instead of “Web” or “Other”. It all depends on the HTTP request header called “Referer”, right?
I’ve double checked that my website sends requests to Patreon with the correct Referer header. Thanks for any help. Here’s the screenshot if it helps:
