Massive increase requests after Shopify theme change

Hi everyone,

I’m managing server-side tracking for a Shopify store using Stape with the Conversion Tracking app, Custom Loader, and Cookie Keeper. The setup has been working fine for months — until a recent theme change caused our request volume on Stape to skyrocket.

The increase is mostly in ScriptLoad and Other request categories, both under GA4 and Other Request types.

Any help would be appreciated. Happy to share more screenshots or details.

Thanks!


Hi,

My advice would be to check this requests in your container logs using the relevant filter, and verify what these requests are and where they’re coming from.

Since the new theme went live, we’ve been getting bombarded by requests from:

User-Agent: AdsBot-Google (+http://www.google.com/adsbot.html)

This was not happening before the theme change.

Has anyone else experienced this? Curious to know if other stores running Google Ads saw a similar spike after a theme update.
