Using Google Analytics with Cloudflare

Using Cloudflare does not affect Google Analytics (GA) tracking if it is added to the website in one of ways recommended by Google.

​​ Standard GA setup

Cloudflare proxies traffic to your origin web server, but the GA JavaScript code never actually sends traffic to your server. Instead, it executes directly in a user’s browser and does not interact with Cloudflare.

Cloudflare only affects analytics tools that read logs directly from your web server (like awstats).

​​ Zaraz

As an alternative to the standard setup of Google Analytics with tag/snippet, Cloudflare offers a way to use Google Analytics with Zaraz. Zaraz is a solution that allows Google Analytics to collect data without its script loaded on the website. If GA is set up this way, then not all features may be available.
