I’m using Google Analytics now and it has the annoying feature of considering domain.com/ and domain.com/index.php different items.
Is there a filter setting where I can instruct GA to merge the stats for these two items into one? It’s stupid to have 20% of the homepage traffic showing up as /index.php rather than on the root.
Thank you!
You need to set a Filter on your profile.
Do this by navigating to account settings for your profile, then click ‘Add Filter’
On the filter page, you’ll need to configure it to do a Search & Replace operation on Request URIs, from /index.php to /
Here’s an example of how you might configure that:
It’s important to note that this filter is not retroactive; i.e., your past data will remain the same.
