Hi all on a daily basis we are getting 3 visits from this city in the US and this has been happening over a couple of months. I have tried to figure out what organisation is out there with no success and wondered whether anyone else has witnessed the same ?

Hi, I have been doing some research and found out the cause, the Shopify Speed Report. You can find the topic here; https://community.shopify.com/post/908894 Shopify runs the speed report using a Google Developer tool (the Google data centre is based in Council Bluffs, USA) which tests 3 pages, Ho…

I’m so glad you posted about this, because I’m also having the same thing happening. It’s usually 6 visits per day from Council Bluffs. I’m wondering if it’s related to some app/extension, but I haven’t installed any new one recently. Another thing that crossed my mind is if the developer of the …

Hi I am on on a different theme so may not be that. I did download Ping last month or so but other than that nothing. Usually I get 3 visits a day, all in quick succession so can only guess it is some sort of spying software. It is a pity Shopify will not assist in the blocking of such visitors. S…

I’ve had the same visits from Council Bluffs IA to my store. 3 views almost every day for the past few weeks. I haven’t downloaded any new apps or made any real changes to my store recently. I’m not sure why I’m getting these views either..

This is so weird. I feel like some spyware is doing this to be able to get some information from my store or something. Creepy! Shopify cancelled their hotline and it’s hard to talk to them nowadays, which is a shame. The stock price sky-rocketing and they cut on the most basic thing we need, which…

I’m seeing the same! Council Bluffs, multiple times per day, no explanation. Does Agiou review these?

I pulled reports and my site is also consistently getting visits from Council Bluffs. I came here to find out if anyone else is having this same issue. Happy it’s not just me but still wondering what is going on.

I am also having the same scenario happen. It has been about 2 weeks since daily reviews from CB Iowa have started. I am not sure what the deal with that is, but I would love it if we can keep this thread going until we find the cause. Hopefully Shopify’s customer service call line will come back a…

Think you are right there. Covid seems to be the new excuse to let customer service take a back seat and reset to a lower level of expectation

Yes I believe it is a spyware program. I have 3 visits almost daily for months now. Before it was some other city I don’t remember, I emailed Shopify to be removed from their spyware and it happened for a few months and now it started again. These are companies that spy on your website to determine …
