Newbie question about CE Cache and pageviews

General (Resolved)

We have our templates completely wrapped in CE Cache with tags for each channel to allow cache breaking when entries are updated. When I update an entry in a channel it then refreshes all entries in the channel at 2 second intervals. So does this mean that all those pages get the equivalent number of pageviews on our Google Analytics? If we keep updating popular pages then less popular pages will keep registering as being hit when really it’s just a cache refresh. Is this correct? Maybe this is a stupid question but I thought I’d ask anyway. I was updating an entry this morning and realized the entire channel would get refreshed and wondered if it would effect our pageviews. Thanks for any info.

Hi aquaadmin!

The refreshes should not affect your Google Analytics at all. The requests will simply trigger the pages’ html to be created, but no JavaScript will be run since the page is not being returned to a browser. Since GA uses JavaScript, it will not be called. :)
