Why does the report only detect one or a few pages?
Why is the report capturing only a few pages of my website?
If the report detects only one or a very few pages, even though your website contains many subpages, this may be due to the technical structure of your site.
Possible cause: dynamic URLs with query parameters
Websites using server-side technologies such as ColdFusion or similar systems often rely on dynamic URLs that include query parameters.
Instead of loading content through clearly separated URLs like:/page1
, /page2
, /contact
many websites use a single URL with added parameters, for example:
?id=123&type=abc
Even though the visual content changes, the main URL remains the same.
From the report's perspective, these appear as one single page — and therefore are not tracked separately.
Solution: enable query parameters in the settings
To ensure the report captures all relevant subpages, check whether your analytics tool is set to recognize and track query parameters.
Note:
This feature is usually disabled by default because frequently used parameters (e.g., in calendar pages) can result in too many variations of a single page.
How to enable query parameters
-
Open the report settings in your dashboard.
-
Navigate to “Advanced – Additional Options”
-
Enable the setting “Include Query Parameters"
-
Return to the overview page and click “Rescan now” to restart the report.
After rescanning
After enabling query parameters and restarting the report, dynamically generated subpages should now be properly detected and included in the analysis.
