Until now, one of the challenges has been the lack of standardization around how websites set up their analytics. For example, some websites place tracking pixels in the wrong place on their site, and in other cases, site owners define app traffic as part of mobile web traffic. Our newly updated algorithm resolves these issues to ensure we tap into a far greater volume of the Direct Measurement data sets we are granted access to, thereby increasing the effectiveness and reliability of Similarweb insights across all available markets.<\/p>\n<p>This upgrade is part of our ongoing commitment to provide the most actionable and accurate insights across desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As online consumption continues to shift from desktop to mobile, the need for cross-device digital intelligence is more critical than ever.
