This resulted in reduced developer dependency, enhanced user experience, and more effective data-driven decision-making for ABP News.
The challenge

- Inaccurate data: Iframe integration for videos hosted on a different subdomain was causing double page view counts, leading to skewed data.
- Limited tracking: User behaviour within the video section wasn’t being tracked due to the use of third-party video players. Additionally, data from AMP pages and Facebook Instant Articles was not being captured.
