Any idea if a technical issue can cause this because that looks a bit off? ![01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/1X/b20ab85d04943b0ead2fea652862adb27b12e141.jpeg) Thxs ---

Let’s start with checking the session log / tracker debugger. Maybe some of your page views are duplicated? ---

Looks like lot’s of them are multi counted? ![01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/1X/c6efdd329e9ed3b2e661c00f3cb4156a3f397533.jpeg) ---

What’s your current tracking setup in the tag manager module? You can check which tags are firing and how many times by using the [tag manager debugger.](https://help.piwik.pro/support/getting-started/check-tracking/) ---

Could you check it yourself having the tag manager debugger enabled? Most likely some tags are firing a few times which should be also visible in the tracker debugger. ---

I highly suggest installing omnibug. It’s a free browser extension which basically piggybacks on Piwiks tracking, but it does give you a better overview of the tracking through a user journey, than the tracker debugger does (in my opinion). It looks like this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/1X/6355a6d80fe722db67d7f18c10a589b1cbd95a86.png) It’s obviously in no way a substitute for the tracker debugger and I should emphasize, that I use it together with the tracker debugger. Whenever I see an issue in omnibug, I can much more easily pinpoint the issue in the tracker debugger. ---
