Sudden Surge in Europe Views

Hi!

So my website is defaulted in the USA. The last 3 days I had an enormous surge in views in Germany only. I did not run any ads or sign up for anything. I posted like normal and didn’t use anything different. I usually get about 20-30 views a day and I am up to over 300 and still going, in mostly Germany. Has anyone else experienced this? Freaking me out a bit! Thanks for any help!!

Wonder what’s going on…wish they were buying!

So mine only lasted about 3 days and now my numbers are back to normal. So weird!

So weird! I’m back down to normal numbers now!

Right?! SO many views and no purchasing, not even abandoned carts! I’m wondering if they were bots.

Hey @Cayte7 - Wondering if this surge in traffic on your site ever spiraled into purchase events? Several of us are seeing literally billions and billions of dollars in fake purchase events coming from the Germany region (as well as a couple of others). We’re discussing here: https://community.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-marketing/ga4-purchase-event-being-spoofed/m-p/2719875#M61316%3Futm_source=communitymembers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=immediate_general. Maybe you have some findings in your data that could help us track this down or find a way to push back?

Thanks very much.
