The WP Scroll Depth admin panel.
Google Analytics Real-Time Events.
Google Analytics page scroll percentages.
First: Confirm the code is being added to your pages:
Load a page and view source. Look for “scrolldepth.” You should find:
- The line in the
<head> section where scrolldepth.min.js is loaded.
- A script block in the
<head> section where jQuery.scrollDepth(); is being called.
If you don’t find the code there, then the plugin hasn’t loaded. Check the usual suspects about malfunctioning plugins.
Second: Make sure the code is executing:
Open the JavaScript/debugging console in your browser and load a page from your site.
If there are no errors and the code is being loaded, then it’s probably working. Time to test.
If there’s an error or conflict, please post in the support forums.
Third: Confirm events are being sent.
Open your Google Analytics and go to the Reporting tab for your site.
Click on Real-time and then Events.
Open another window or browser with your site.
Scroll! Scroll like the wind!
You should see events with a Category of “Scroll Depth.”
If you don’t see these events, make sure your Google Analytics is properly set up and configured.
