User with enabled/disabled Javascript statistics

[anonymous-matomo-user]

When using the JS Tracker and an img tracker in <nonscript> as fallback for tracking users with disabled JS all visitors are recorded. But there is no statistics where the percentage of visitors of enabeld or disabled JS can be seen.

The web is moving towards more js, not less; browsers with faster javascript engines; and more caching for performance.

What does this statistic really tell us?

It isn't an accurate statistic:

• server side tracking via PiwikTracker class doesn't know if js is enabled or disabled
• image tracker doesn't differentiate between real users with js disabled, privacy features that block web tracking, or bots

If you measure it, how do you act on the results? Eg a downward trend?

It would tell me if the features on my website which are based on JS are used or have an detterend effect on useres with disabled JS. I just don't want to exclude people from my web page and if this would be a significant number I could react on it.

Of course this statistics would only work with the JS tracker combined with the img tracker.

A trend to higher acceptation for JS (more people with enabled JS) could result in changing the website to more desktop-like behaviour with AJAX. Or going back to more static behaviour.

@anonymous-piwik-user this may be late but I use a custom variable in the no-js URL to keep a tally.

Hth.
