Hello everyone,

I installed a couple of weeks ago the counter in all the pages of my website. So far it's been really helpfull but I've been getting some hits where the "visitor path" is empty and I noticed, by magnifying the information of those visitors, that they had the Javascript disabled.

What happens on those cases? Are those visitors not able to see any of the pages or are they just impossible for SC to track? Also would this affect the way how the page is displayed?

Thank you!

Raul

The visitors see the pages OK, but SC cannot know what page they are on or where they came form, since that information is only available through javascript.

Of course, if your pages rely on javascript for navigation or for special effects, those visitors also don't get to see or experience that.

Great photos. Superb. And a very well-done web site to display them.

Users without JavaScript enabled should have no trouble on your site. Any of the features that depend on JS will be disabled, but -- despite all the JS code on your pages -- your site seems to work fine without it.

StatCounter doesn't do a good job at collecting information from non-JS users.
