Unexpected help from Woopra

I added a new section to my site recently and of course put some links on my home page to that new section.

Today I noticed that a lot of visitors showed up twice in the Live window (same city, specs,...). Woopra Bug? Forgot to put the Woopra code on a page?
I checked all my pages to see of the code was included everywhere...and it was.
I didn't put the woopra code in my error pages, so maybe some links were broken.
I used the W3 Link Checker and yes! A broken link that send visitors to an error page. That error page redirected the visitors to the home page and because Woopra leaves the visitors in the live window sometime after they're gone, these visitors showed up twice.

So, although I didn't like the fact that Woopra left the visitor in the live window for a while after they'd left the site, it helped me with finding an error on my website :-)

btw, I've included the Woopra code in my error pages as well now.

I'm glad that Woopra helped. If you are using dynamic page generation, such as with PHP or Javascript, you can get Woopra into every page by putting it in the header or footer, whichever element is included on every pageview of your site.

I use
<?php
require("filename.php");
?>
