Many Thanks, @jahilldev for the clarification!

So I should copy the entire contents of the script below and add
<script> ..... </script>, right?
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@minimal-analytics/ga4/dist/index.js

Another question, what about Minimal Analytics 4 - masking (hiding) requests?
I tried the script with Firefox in private mode and the tracking is not working. Because many people have Ad Blocker enabled, I need to track all visits.
Today, Cloudflare does NOT allow _redirects file, to set not typical redirect with code 200 (OK), working as a proxy URL.

@CharbelNemnom, yes that's correct 👍

Minimal Analytics 4 - masking (hiding) requests

Yeh, so someone else wanted the ability to avoid AdBlocker too, so I added a proxy endpoint config that will allow you to do this.

You'll need to specify the following property:

window.minimalAnalytics = {
  /*[...snip]*/
  analyticsEndpoint: '/collect', // <-- your endpoint
};

https://github.com/jahilldev/minimal-analytics/tree/main/packages/ga4#endpoint

This will redirect all analytics calls to your specified endpoint, which if named correctly, will bypass AdBlocking logic / rules. You'll need to provision this endpoint yourself, however, and ensure traffic is proxied from there to the official GA4 API. I'm sure there are guides on how to do this in various environments floating around the interwebs.

Fundamentally though, it's just request forwarding, so should be fairly trivial 👍

Many Thanks, @jahilldev, much appreciated!

The current version is v1.8.7, so in the future, I need to update it if you released a new version since I am hosting the minimal script locally.
The latest version will be always here, right? https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@minimal-analytics/ga4/dist/index.js

Yes that's correct 👍

You could watch the repo for releases, or setup a script that checks the CDN url above periodically for updates, and either notify you of a release, or better still, dynamically update the script for you (that's out of scope for now 😉)

I still have one more challenge with analyticsEndpoint

What you do here is really down to your environment. You'll need to create an endpoint, perhaps via Wordpress or even an edge function service. The analyticsEndpoint config property above just tells the script to send all tracking data to that server, instead of directly to the GA4 API. This should bypass any AdBlocker's algorithm.

There are a few (not entirely applicable, but close enough!) articles I found from searching for:

GA4 bypass adblocker

Node:
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/save-your-analytics-from-content-blockers-7ee08c6ec7ee/

Wordpress (CAOS, not sure about this one, but the diagram explains what's needed well):

Good luck!

Thank you @jahilldev,

Yes, I understood the logic behind creating the request.

I have created the Analytic Endpoint, but still, the Firefox Private Mode browser is not working.
If I access it from a normal browser, I can see real-time data so the endpoint that I created is working.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

jahilldev commented Sep 14, 2022

@CharbelNemnom It's difficult for me to help without knowing more context around exactly what you're doing.

Given "Firefox Private Mode" does its best to block tracking, it could be that something you're doing is triggering their logic somehow.

Anecdotally, I know people have achieved this by using the custom endpoint, but I haven't personally.

I'd suggest we continue this via an issue below, given this is a little off topic for this Gist.
https://github.com/jahilldev/minimal-analytics

If I have a minute, and you can provide some kind of repo outlining exactly what you're doing, I might be able to help, but can't guarantee anything, I'm afraid.

My initial suggestions:

  • Attempt to find out exactly what conditions Firefox are using to constitute tracking
  • Debug where in the code the request is being blocked, if at all
  • Experiment with different endpoint names, given this is likely the primary condition they're using, in conjunction with known tracking domain names

Let me know how you get on (in a seperate issue, please!)

Thanks 👍

Copy link

wpsumo commented Jun 24, 2023

@jahilldev Any process on inline event tracking like the onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'eventCategory', 'eventAction', 'eventLabel');"

Basically all I want is to do as you had in universal Event: ma.trackEvent('Category', 'Action', 'Label', 'Value')

How would it look for example on a link element.

<a href="https://example.com/link/">Visit</a>

Like

<a class="button" href="#" onclick="gtag('event', <action>, {
		  'event_category': <category>,
		  'event_label': <label>
		});">
	<span class="button_label">Start now
	</span>
</a>
