Hello,

My bounce rate and pages per session metrics on GA are tracking incorrectly, and I believe this to be due to a duplicate pageview event firing from my website, that I found by inspecting the website code. Not sure if it’s related, but this started happening once I set-up GA4. This message came up when I inspected the website: ‘this is a duplicate pageview. The property (tid) and location (dl) are the same as the last pageview hit’. How can I solve this? Is there some bit of code in the liquid theme that I should get rid of?

Thank you!
