What is the issue you’re encountering
Since implementing the managed challenge for non verified bots ((not cf.client.bot)); I noticed all my websites have a 99% drop in Organic traffic; while the amount of this drop is now showing as direct traffic (which was near 0 before the implementation of managed challenge)… What causes this; and more importantly; how can I make sure our analytics data is correct?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
stop managed challenge for now
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
- have a website with organic traffic
- enable managed challenge for if verified bots is false → (not cf.client.bot)
- see GA4 data streams for acquisition ‘replace’ the organic traffic for direct traffic…
