Why Choose Server-Side Tracking?
1. Improved Tracking Accuracy Client-side tracking often fails to capture complete data due to factors like ad blockers, privacy settings, and browser restrictions. With server-side tracking, your data is processed on the server, bypassing these limitations and significantly improving event and user data accuracy. You can expect up to 30% more event data captured, resulting in better insights and more precise attribution models.
2. Resilience Against Ad Blockers and ITP Nearly 33% of internet users employ ad blockers, disrupting traditional client-side tracking. Server-side tracking can bypass ad blockers and browser tracking prevention measures like Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), ensuring your data collection remains intact and reliable.
3. Enhanced Website Performance Client-side scripts can slow down your website, affecting load times and user experience. Server-side tagging reduces the load on your site, leading to faster page speeds, which can positively influence your search engine rankings and user satisfaction. By offloading tracking tasks to the server, you maintain a seamless, efficient browsing experience for your users.
