Description
Google analytics reports the following issue:
Property prometheus.io is receiving data from redundant hostnames. Some of the redundant hostnames are:
- prometheus.io
- www.prometheus.io
Redundant hostnames are counted as separate rows in reports, so hits that are going to the same page on your site from different hostnames will be split into multiple rows. With data split across multiple rows, traffic to specific pages will appear lower than it actually is.
Tasks:
- #2211
- Revert #2211, since that isn't the source of the problem
