6 years ago There's a Google Analytics tag in the page, and it loads https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-109250968-1. It doesn't make any followup http requests, though. If Google Analytics Debugger (a Chrome extension) is installed, this appears in the Javascript console:

It seems that the Google Analytics integration isn't actually currently working. I looked at the real-time tab in Google Analytics, while having multiple devices connected to it, and it didn't change at all. Also a lot of the traffics seems to be by some kind of bots.
This would be really great to fix, because if it turns out that you get a lot more traffic than you do, this would change how we relate to GreaterWrong a good bit.
