Major Click Loss Issues (41% click loss!!)

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help me regarding this.

SETUP
Traffic Source: PopAds

Tracker: Voluum

Server: Used for cloaking (fraudbuster) and hosting files.
Vultr Server
CPU: 2 vCore
Ram: 2048 MB
Storage: 45 GB SSD

STATS
On popads, it shows 34,00 impressions.
On fraudbuster, it shows 28,00 impressions. ( -18% loss from popads)
On Voluum, it shows 20,00 ( -29% loss from fraudbuster)

From PopAds to Voluum, Voluum only sees 59% of the traffic, which means there's a -41% loss in total!

For obvious reasons, I paused the campaigns to figure it out.

QUESTIONS
According to fraudbuster, I would need to have my landers in the same server/cpanel as fraudbuster. Is my Vultr Server setup enough for the cloaker and landers?

Why are you cloaking on popads ? They allow pretty much everything..

Popads was just my test source to see if my cloaking setup worked.

Once I knew it worked then I'd start cloaking on different sources, but this click loss troubled me so I wanted to fix it first.

Its really hard to say what % of lost clicks is ok, but it's always present. As long as your setup is running fine, with no timeouts and other server related issues, you gotta accept the numbers and factor them in your costs.

There's a delay with some tools in reporting . I personally look at my "yesterdays" reports often to have more or less accurate results . You may notice sometimes that even conversions come a couple of days after you paused you campaigns

I would suggest pulling at least 2-3 hours old reports to see what's the discrepancy in clicks. Also various tools hosted with different providers may cause latency as there are quite a few redirects in between which may cause a visitor close a browser tab even before getting to the final page

Or the hard ware you use for hosting isn't capable of handling volume spikes.

There are actually plenty of scenarios that may cause click loss

You're currently sending a minimal amount of traffic so yes, that setup can handle it.

What are page load times like? Do a few tests from various geo's and report back.
