Exclude CheckView Bot Traffic from Google Analytics

To ensure accurate analytics data and exclude traffic from CheckView tests, we recommend filtering out the IP addresses that our service uses for any live websites where you are running CheckView tests.

Follow the steps below to exclude CheckView bot traffic from your Google Analytics data.

How to Exclude CheckView in Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

  1. Sign in to Google Analytics:
    Go to your Google Analytics account and select the property you want to manage.
  2. Navigate to Admin Settings:
    Click on the “Admin” button in the lower-left corner of the Google Analytics dashboard.
  3. Data Streams:
    In the “Property” column, click on “Data Streams.”
  4. Select Data Stream:
    Select the data stream for your website.
  5. Configure Tag Settings:
    Under “Additional Settings,” click on “Tag Settings.”
  6. Define Internal Traffic:
    Click on “Define internal traffic.”
  7. Add IP Address:
    • Click on “Create” to add a new rule.
    • Name your rule (e.g., “Exclude CheckView Bot”).
    • Enter the IP address (see list above) in the “IP address” field.
    • Click “Create” to save the rule.

Filter Using dataLayer (GTM)

CheckView automatically pushes a dataLayer event on every test page load with the following values:

  • checkview_test: true
  • traffic_type: "checkview"

You can use these values in Google Tag Manager to create a trigger that blocks your analytics tags from firing during CheckView tests. This is an alternative to IP-based filtering and works even if CheckView’s IP addresses change.

To set this up in GTM:

  1. Create a new Data Layer Variable named checkview_test
  2. Create a Trigger that blocks tags when checkview_test equals true
  3. Add this as an exception trigger to your Google Analytics tags

Future Updates

If CheckView adds any new geolocations in the future, additional IP addresses will need to be excluded. We will provide updates with new IP addresses as they become available. You will need to repeat the steps above to exclude any new IPs.
