Page Cache, referrer problems

Post by OriyanJ » Sun Jul 09, 2017 6:01 am

I'll start by saying that Page Cache reduces about 1-1.5 seconds from my website, but it comes with a cost.
The current problem I'm facing is that Google Analytics is having hard time showing me the right Referrals to my site.

The page cache saves the last referral to view the page and uses it again and again. Showing me wrong metrics.
If I disable the Page Cache, it makes the appropriate use of the referrer (I test it by getting the $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]).

Is there any way to keep Page Cache active while getting the right referrals?

Using Joomla 3.7.6
