About Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
Since SlimStat is just a simple access analysis plugin, we have confirmed that some of the analysis results may contain inaccurate information. In particular, there appears to be an error in the analysis of visitors by country and browser type.
For access analysis on this site, in addition to the access analysis program provided by the core server and the access analysis program developed by us using perl, we also run accurate access analysis using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) etc.
For reference, the gallery below displays access analysis screens (as of November 10, 2024) using GA4.
