CloudFront and Google Analytics

Question

I have deployed Google Analytics Script on my Lightsail-based WordPress (bitnami) website and using CloudFront for content delivery.

Besides I am using Wordfence Firewall on my website and accordingly enabled X-Forwarded-For HTTP header as well as whitelisted all IP Blocks of Cloudfront to get users ip.

The issue I am facing is that Google Analytics is displaying all visitors as originating from the desktop devices instead of mobile devices. How I can fix it?

The link to the website is [https://pricetoday.com.pk](https://pricetoday.com.pk)

Answer

GA is working as the js loaded in the page, and then, the client(browser) send requests to GA's server without passing CloudFront.

For example, you could find the js is included in your page. 
- https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js
And you could see the browser sends request to the target domain: 
- https://analytics.google.com/g/collect (POST request)

Therefore, it would be surely better if you check it with Google.
