I have been monitoring this issue for quite some time now:

All of my sessions have 2 page views, 0m 0s time spent on the page and 0% bounce rate. At the beginning I thought it may be a temporary bug, display issue or just the crawling bots of Google/Bing/etc. scanning my site. But every of my blogs sessions looks like that.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

3 users, 3 sessions, 3 new users

6 page views, 0% bounce rate, 0m 0s time spent on the page

The only alternative that I have in mind would be lucky orange. But it's nowhere near what Google Analytics is from a data point of view. For capturing/improving user experience it's great though.

Basically I just want to know how good the content is and if the visitors got the information they were looking for.
 
if you are using WP, install Site Kit by Google
 
I will try that and report back, thank you!
 
it should work coz the plugin made by them no shit coding.
good luck

I removed the manually inserted google analytics tracking code from the header and installed the google site kit plugin. But it's still 0% bounce rate, 0m 0s time spent on the page, even though there are visitors from organic search for example.

@Ipnp So you think it's a general issue caused by Google Analytics itself?

I have a few other websites were the stats (avg. session duration and bounce rate) are showing up correctly.

Actually it's just this website having that issue.
 
Bot clicks?

I had this thought as well as it's a pretty new website and I'm not doing any social media promo or ads on this one. But I checked the google search console and bing webmaster tools a few times in the last few weeks and there were clicks, so at least some % are real visitors coming from organic search results.

Without spending much time on it here just some thoughts:
- Bounce rate is counted when someone does NOT navigate to another page (if it fires a pageview) or does NOT Trigger an event

--> see if you have a plugin that increases events (could be for scroll tracking, button click etc)

You can figure this out on Chrome / Network / Filter google-analytics.com and see if you have more than 1 request, if you do, there is likely your issue (you can post more details then)

Plenty of bot clicks can be seen as organic... the tools are there for anyone to generate a search from various devices and click naturally, then go search for an ad and click it. Many people's ads budgets are taken from them by competitors like this.
