Why visitor's data shows in Shopify Analytics
This is caused by how Shopify itself works. Shopify starts recording analytics at the backend level, before the storefront page has fully loaded. This means that as soon as a visitors requests a page, the visit is already counted in Shopify Analytics.
Because of this, even if our app redirect/blocks a visitor immediately on the frontend, Shopify has already recorded the page visit.
Additionally, several bots are perform website crawling in certain amount on time and their visit may also record in Shopify Analytics.
This bots may comes from any countries however mostly comes from the US, China and many more to preform website crawling.
Additionally, our app by default whitelist the Google bots and several other bots from the redirection for website proper indexing. For more information of our app bots whitelisting click here
Recently, the Shopify Community group shared updates regarding huge volume of US and Chinese bot traffic. For more details, please review the article.
