Newly joined and copy-pasted the <script> code I was given inside the main <div> inside the <body> of every html file on my blog, which is hosted on Neocities. Despite waiting around 1 hour and multiple refreshes, the analytics data is still not showing up on GoatCounter.

I've visited my blog on my phone and tablet to generate visits; I've added gc.zgo, goatcounter.com and corinnemercury.goatcounter.com to my Trusted Sites in my ublockOrigin browser extension; I've opened GoatCounter in a private window without any browser extensions active to see if they were interferring with it - still nothing.

I'm not sure what else to do to get it to work. Any advice appreciated.

If I load your site, then I do see the pageviews being sent, and if I check the database then I see them being recorded:

        hour         │ total │ path

 2024-08-18 13:00:00 │     1 │ /

The one at 22:00:00 is me; the one this afternoon is someone else.

Looking further, I see a bunch of pageviews on the 15th being blocked as bots:

Code 7 is "BotShort", which is triggered if the User-Agent header is less than 10 characters or doesn't contain a space or /.

Is this you? If so, then you probably set a custom User-Agent in your browser or something like that?

Yes, I think that was probably me, I made a bunch of updates that day, then didn't go on my blog since. I have no idea whether i set a custom User-Agent in my browser, I don't think I have - but I do have a lot of privacy-focused browser extensions enabled, if that affects it in any way?

Neocities shows stats as 25-40 visits daily after 15 Aug, and those weren't mine, but they're not registering on GoatCounter either. I can understand if maybe my own visits are blocked, and that's fine - it's probably more accurate if they are blocked - but don't understand why all the other visits are not being registered.

Again, does it matter where the <script> is saved? I moved the one on the index.html just before the </body> tag, maybe that made the difference because I think index.html is now showing up in GoatCounter. But no other pages are.
