Hello,

I'm having issues with traffic i send to external websites (out) after i switched to httpS.

For example, while my TE stats show about 3000 raw out and 2000 uniques out, the site receiving the traffic only counts about 600 uniques in according to google analytics.
I know google and TE might not synch at the same server time but i've tracked this for a couple of days and also checked traffic spread over 2 or 3 days but the difference is simply to big.

I already added <meta name=“referrer” content=“unsafe-url”> some while ago and also used

Code: Select all

?php
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on')
echo HTTPS is working';
else
echo 'HTTPS is missing';

with positive result (https is working)

I have not used the referrerpolicy=“unsafe-url” method since i'm not using html to sent traffic but straight urls like /te3/out.php?purl=http://www.google.com.

Is anyone else having this issue? It is a huge pain in the ass and messes up all my trades.

This issue is still present.
I have tested this during a 30 day period. According to TE i have send over 50.000 clicks to SITE A.
SITE A Google analytics reports that only 10.000 visits was received during this period.

So we are missing 40.000 and i have no clue how this is possible and this is killing all my trades.

What happens with HTTPS thing? I also have the same problem! Not all visits are counted by TE

Hello, it's not a TE related problem but it's a problem between https and http protocol because the referrers get lost.

Very interesting articles. Thanks.

But any solution to our trades? I'm going crazy with this https thing. Traffic is decreasing everyday

What's the best option you recommend? Use metatag in header or for every individual link like you suggest in TE wiki?

Hello, i recommend to use the <meta name=“referrer” content=“unsafe-url”> in the <head> section, but not all browsers support this here you can see which browsers support this:

https://caniuse.com/#feat=referrer-policy

Thanks,

I used that metatag in all mys sites and I don't see any changes in my trades nor GA. In fact, the trades between all my sites are: 0 in's - 1000 out's, but that outs are not reflected in other TE sites. Any idea?

Can you try to disable HTTPS ?
